Thief Returns Child's Cremated Remains POSTED: 6:52 am EST January 11, 2007
NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. -- Eve and Steven Greene made a simple plea to the burglar who broke into their house: Keep the valuables. Return the cremated remains of their 4-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 4-year-old 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 $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.

Haha. Eats Cheerios and has a conscience. AND is a thief.
Well, at least he was nice enough to return the ashes.
