OMAHA, May 25 (UPI) -- An Omaha woman who carried her father's ashes as she went about her daily business says someone stole the urn from her car.

"Definitely, my heart sank when I saw that he was missing," Diamond Frye told WETV-TV, Omaha. "It's sort of all I have left. Of course, I have the pictures, I have his mementos, but actually having him with me -- I feel like he was with me when I had that. And he's not with me now."

Frye said her father died of a heart attack in March and likes to keep his ashes near her.

"He comes with me in my purse sometimes, sometimes in my car, sometimes he was in the house," she said. "I like to have with me."

Frye said she was hopeful the person who took the black egg-shaped urn Monday night will look inside and turn it over to police.

She said the thief probably thought the urn was worth something.
