A man in Newington, New Hampshire apparently got cold feet after stealing a diamond ring from an upscale jewelry store.

Travis Mullen, 31, was caught on surveillance video cameras snatching an expensive diamond ring from the counter of a New Hampshire jewelry store and making a run for it.  He simple entered the store, picked up a diamond ring, and sprinted out. The diamond ring was estimated to be worth $11,000.

In an effort to apprehend Mr. Mullen, the local police aired the surveillance video on several local news stations and contacted Mullen's family. Soon afterward, Mullen revisited to the jewelry store on his own accord to return the diamond ring.

After returning the $11,000 diamond ring, Mullen agreed to turn himself in to the police for what they are calling a "grab and run" robbery. He is now in police custody.
