Car thief returns stolen ashes to Everett cemetery with anonymous note - Q13 FOX
UPDATE August 16, 2015 — . Thieves who stole a man’s car last week returned an urn containing his father’s ashes to a cemetery in Everett. They did not, however, return Troy Graham’s car. Troy and his family asked for help from local media, including Q13 FOX News in spreading the word about the stolen urn. -- A Snohomish County family is hoping their stolen car will turn up, because there was something very valuable left inside. The ashes of 84-year-old Dick Graham, who recently passed away, were in an urn in the backseat. I wonder if he engineered this,” says Joyce Graham, Dick's wife. She says he would think it’s funny that his ashes went missing, just hours before his memorial service. But Graham’s son Troy says he wasn’t laughing when he woke up Wednesday morning, and found out his 1999 Honda CRV had been stolen from his locked parking garage in Everett. Troy says it didn’t feel quite right. “We just want to finalize it all, it feels missed, something’s missing right now. Dick loved cars, so the family was going to put his ashes in an antique car model on Joyce’s mantel. She says she hopes police recover the car or the thieves return the ashes, so she can still do that. Source: q13fox.com
