Theft is never something anyone wants to experience. It can be deeply upsetting and often leaves emotional and financial damage behind. Most thieves go after items they can resell, and that’s exactly what one Kentucky criminal did– but he didn’t stop there.
He broke into a home while a couple was sleeping and took a long list of items: a laptop, women’s shoes, car keys, a wallet, a car, a scooter, a necklace, a bike, and a watch. But among all the things he stole, one choice stood out as especially cruel. For reasons only he knows, he also took two urns containing the ashes of the family’s beloved dogs.
The owner was understandably shaken by the loss of her belongings, but it was the stolen urns that hit the hardest. Some things just can’t be replaced.

There’s no justifiable reason for anyone in their right mind to steal a dog’s urn. It’s downright disturbed, and it says a lot about the kind of person this Kentucky thief is. To make matters worse, he was carrying a hatchet.
Thankfully, the couple were heavy sleepers and didn’t wake up during the break-in. As awful as the theft was, things could have ended much worse if they had confronted him. Their dog was asleep too, which probably spared it from danger. The only bit of relief in this whole situation is that the couple filed a police report and changed all their locks immediately.
People Reacting to the Kentucky Thief’s Crime
A lot of people were left upset by the theft and the fact that the Kentucky thief also took the urns. The owner spoke about their value as she said, “The other stuff is just ‘stuff’ and can be replaced. Taking the urns is on anotherr level. I hope he breaks them open looking for jewelry or whatever and gets ashes all over him. Our doggie’s revenge.” I hope this happens. When someone recommended that they get a dog, the owner mentioned that they do have one. Since the criminal didn’t wake anyone up, this made one person write, “That’s scary how good he was. He was quiet enough to not stir your dog. That’s wild to me.” Along with expressing their grief toward the loss of the urns, OP also stated that they learned their lesson and would be installing an alarm system.
Others started offering more advice, including one who suggested using the stolen laptop’s tracker if it has one. “By any chance, do your laptops have a lojack or tracker on it,” they asked. Hopefully, the laptop would have a tracker that could lead to the Kentucky thief. People also showed sympathy toward the grieving owners. “Still sorry for your loss. I’m glad no one was hurt,” one Redditor wrote. Someone also commented on how it was a low blow to also take the urns. “Special kind of POS to even take the urns. Good god,” they added. It’s a terrible event that will definitely leave the couple traumatized. I just hope that they will somehow manage to catch the guy.
