“I would say it was my fault for putting that personal item in there,” he said.

‘I didn’t think twice. I shouldn’t have to worry about people on the street.

Ms Williams-Boyce is pleading with the perpetrator to return the ashes, no questions asked, saying she would then not pursue the matter further.

“I want to get them back,” he said.

“I want to take them to the funeral director and put them down so I don’t lose them (again),” he said.
