<p>not only does my Aunt and Uncle leave in the same town, they have their sons ashes, he died of a brain tumor in '99, in the house also.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>this is the kind of shit that makes me wonder about humans. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>I'd assume he didn't take it knowing the contents. The fact that he was civil enough to return the ashes is what I am pleased with....Even if he's never caught.</p>

<p>the father was on the cowhead show here in tampa today</p><p>and he said that the cops showed up to his house and they walked around to the back of the house to see where the thief broke in and in the&nbsp;2 minutes it took for him and the cops to walk from the front door around the house and back to the front the ashes were there on the porch</p>

Thats cool they got them back. Losing a kid is bad enough, now they got robbed. Sometimes life is fucked.
