Edmonton man reunited with necklace that was stolen in Grande Prairie

Jul 5, 2018 | 6:55 AM

An Edmonton man has been reunited with a necklace containing his late father’s ashes after it was stolen while he was working in Grande Prairie.

A few weeks ago, a truck was broken into and the necklace taken. Photos were shared on social media of the item and possible suspect.

Darren Moyer, founder of Lightcatch says a member of the Facebook group recognized the item and knew the person who had it.

“Someone recognized him and reached out to him privately, explained that he didn’t own it and it was valuable to someone else and that she would like to make arrangements to get it back to its rightful owner to which he agreed.”

The individual that ended up with the item was given it as a gift.

Boyer says the owner and his wife are very grateful for the return of the necklace and hope to thank the returnee in person.

“So, when Sheri through social media found out who the rightful owner was by contacting his wife and explained she was now in possession of it and was going to send it back, his wife couldn’t begin to describe how much of an impact this was going to have on her husband.”

After the necklace was stolen the owner quit his job in Grande Prairie and moved back to Edmonton but Boyer says the couple hopes to thank the returnee in person.
