A Marine officer who had his moving truck stolen with all of his personal possessions in its trailer managed to retrieve at least one sentimental item that was among the extensive list of lost goods: His father’s ashes.
Joshua Nobles was temporarily staying at the La Quinta Inn and Suites in San Antonio, Texas, last month when his U-Haul — and the personal vehicle that was attached to the moving truck — was stolen from the hotel parking lot.
The prior enlisted Marine was in the middle of a move from Quantico, Virginia, and was looking for a permanent living space for his wife and two children — the family welcomed their second child just two weeks earlier — when he came out to the parking lot and discovered nearly all his family’s possessions were gone.
