Ebony Simpson stopped off at a supermarket on her way home from her grandmother's memorial service and a thief made off with her car, along with the urn in the trunk, after taking the keys from her shopping cart, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Simpson says she had planned to keep the urn on display at home. "My grandmother was like my second mom," she says. To the thief, she says: "I would just like them to imagine if your child or your grandmother was in a car and somebody stole it and you couldn't do anything about it."
