POULSBO, Wash.  (Metro)  -- A thief may be surprised to find that part of the booty taken from a Poulsbo home burglary includes a dead woman's ashes. 

A 66-year-old man says thieves made off with an urn containing his wife's ashes, along with several other items on Friday. 

The Kitsap Sun reports the burglary happened while the man was at work. 

The homeowner says someone broke a window to get into the house.
