“Cremated ashes”? Shouldn’t that have been “Cremated remains” or “The ashes from so & so’s cremation”? Were they in some kind of container? Now, I’m no Sherlock Holmes, but, I don’t think there is very much of a market for “hot” ashes. It seems to me that there is a good chance they were in a container and THAT is what the thieves found attractive. If the article would have said that and perhaps gave a description we all could have been on the look-out.
