Family to thief: Give us back our dad’s cremated remains

Iowa — Family members have sent a message to whoever burglarized a rural home in eastern Iowa: Give us back the box holding the cremated remains of our father.

The box was stolen Feb. 14 or 15 from the rural Dike home of Daniel Evanson. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that he was 65 when he died Feb. 6. His sister asked in a public Facebook post that the box be returned to his farm.

The box was decorated with a farm scene that showed a tractor and a barn.
