yeah I have to inventory peoples things for work and some things you just KNOW. Like a guy in a coma in the ICU needed all his jewelry removed before an MRI and when we saw it was a pet tag we were eeeextra careful to make sure that did NOT get lost. hospital can pay if we lose something fancy but there's 0 way to replace a dead pets tag. one person came in with some kinda weird knotted rag and I was like hm I'm not gonna wash this with the other clothes because it doesn't look like it would survive but if it was trash they wouldn't keep trying to repair it so I found a good pocket of the bag to put it back in. found out later in the shift when the parents came by; baby blanket. A lot of items just have an aura even if you can't pinpoint why right away.

I thought they stuff the dead dog(it's a stuffed plushie), even though the story was about their ashes.... I'm not so smart

I'm so glad to hear they got the ashes back. It made small news that they had been stolen, but there hadn't been an update.
