Virginia parents are pleading for thieves to return the ashes, according to report.
A Virginia couple's car has been stolen, but it's the contents of the vehicle that has the couple pleading for a safe return: a box with the ashes of their baby.
Melissa and Roger Brown were on the road moving to Texas when their Ford Taurus was stolen overnight outside a hotel in Oklahoma City, according to reports, including WRIC.
The car included all of their possessions, including the ashes of their unborn son.
"It feels like i just lost my baby all over again," Melissa told WRIC. "It makes me nauseous to think that some ignorant criminal has my son's remains and doesn't know how precious and how much they mean to me."
