Caring burglar returns ashes to grieving mom
By Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A burglar with a conscience returned a keepsake containing a boy's ashes to his Orlando mother after seeing the woman talk about it on television.
The ashes were in a small vial that looks like a necklace. It, along with jewelry, money, a television and other things were swiped when Emely Santana's home was ransacked this week. Santana is still grieving the June death of 18-year-old son Giovanni Perez. She picks up his urn when she's sad to feel closer to him, and planned to give the necklace to her mother. Santana got her wish on Wednesday. The stolen vial reappeared in the back of her car, wrapped in the comics section of the newspaper. The other things are still gone, but the grieving mom said she can replace those. |
