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 their driveway Wednesday morning, two days after it was taken in a burglary.
Police said a burglar broke into the home Monday, 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 from cancer in 2005, the St. Petersburg Times reported. His parents kept the urn above their fireplace next to a Play Doh fire truck Zachary made before he died.
