Teen's car stolen ... with her father's urn in the backseat

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Police recovered a stolen car belonging to a Gwinnett County teenager, but the thieves took her father’s urn.

The 16-year-old and her mother were in the process of moving when the theft occurred.

They told Channel 2's Chris Jose that they want her father's urn back.

“It hurts a lot,” Ariana Kimbrough told Jose and she can’t stop crying.

Kimbrough and her mother just moved into a new house, but upstairs, just outside of her bedroom, a piece of her heart is missing.

“Who steals an urn?” Kimbrough’s mother said. “A sick person.”

The family showed Jose Kimbrough’s most recent birthday card, which reads “If you weren’t my daughter, something special would be missing.”

Kimbrough’s father, Shannon, passed away in November.

“Although he’s not here with me, and he can’t talk to me, I can talk to him still, so it means a lot to me,” Kimbrough said.

Kimbrough gave Jose a picture of her dad’s urn.

Two weeks ago, Kimbrough and her mother were in the process of moving to their new home.

Kimbrough had her car filled with clothes, shoes and purses.

Her father’s urn was in the back seat.

When she woke up the next day, her car was gone.

“I don’t care about anything else, I didn’t even care about my car at the moment,” Kimbrough told Jose. “I just cared about my dad’s ashes and getting his urn back and everything else.”

Police recovered the car a few days later. It was heavily damaged and everything inside was stolen.

Kimbrough said she wants her dad’s urn back. It doesn’t have a price.

“It means everything to me,” Kimbrough told Jose. “Every morning when I wake up, I would just look at his urn, just to tell him I love him.”

Right now, police don’t have any leads or suspects.

The stolen items are worth more than a thousand dollars.
