PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona family is pleading with burglars to return a wooden music box containing the ashes of their 5-month old son.
The Peoria family came home Thursday afternoon and found the garage door open and the house ransacked. The burglars stole electronics and a wooden music box.
Inside the box were the ashes of 5-month-old Tyler. His mother, Lindsay Grannis, says he died in 1996; she laid him down for a nap with his twin brother and "he just never woke up."
The family says the box has no monetary value and they're willing to make a deal.
If the ashes are returned to any Peoria or Phoenix fire station, the burglars can keep the rest of the stolen items.
Police say they believe the burglars got inside the home using a universal garage door remote.
