Investigators say the incident took place in a parking lot on Welland Avenue at the corner of Court Street on July 3.
The victim discovered that a black leather purse, which contained the urn in a blue velvet bag, was taken from her Jeep Cherokee she originally believed she had locked.
Also missing are a black leather men’s wallet with the deceased’s Ontario drivers licence and possibly a previously cancelled Visa and Mastercard.
The victim and the police are requesting the public’s assistance in recovering the very sentimental items.
