Eve and Steven Greene made a simple plea to the burglar who broke into their house: keep the valuables but return the cremated remains of their four-year-old son.
"Just drop it off somewhere with a note on it," Steven Greene said. "And that'll be that." It worked.
Someone left the urn containing the ashes of Zachary Greene at the end of the Greenes' driveway Wednesday morning, two days after it was taken in a burglary.
Police said a burglar broke into the home, snacked on Cheerios and tracked mud all over the house as he filled pillowcases with about US$10,000 worth of valuables - and Zachary's ashes.
Zachary died of cancer in 2005. His parents kept the urn above their fireplace next to a Play Doh fire truck Zachary made before he died.
That remains to be seen. But you have hit this conundrum dead on.

I was dying to hear your reply.
You boys are having entirely too much fun with this. To get your attention, you need to encounter a female who is drop-dead gorgeous.
