San Marino burglars take man's ashes
This comes from reporter Beige Luciano-Adams:
SAN MARINO - Mary Jean and Charles Lynberg had long talked about spreading their ashes together after their deaths."He'd say Laguna, I'd say La Jolla - and he'd joke and say, `I'll never find you there.' I wouldn't really care where they're spread, just as long as they're together," Mary Jean said.
But burglars who broke into her home last Wednesday spoiled her plans.
Lynberg said she returned home from a short afternoon outing and found her home ransaked and the box containing her husband's ashes gone.
Charles A. Lynberg died of cancer three years ago, leaving his wife alone in their San Marino home of 25 years.
Apparently there's a rash of these instances. Then there's the urn found Sunday in Covina. Don't know if there's any relationship between the two stories.
