People are losing odd things in unexpected places all the time. $500,000 violins in taxis, diamonds at Saturday Night Live's studio—but two ash-filled urns at a PATH station? That's a new one to us. And yet that is just what police found when they inspected a suspicious package yesterday at the Newport PATH station.
After a canine unit revealed that the packages did not contain bombs, Port Authority police brought the sterling-silver urns to the Northern Regional Medical Examiner's Office in Newark where they are currently being inspected. So far nobody has claimed them, but if you know anything the PA Police would love to hear from you (201-216-6078)—and we suspect you'd love to talk to them!
Finally, just as a reminder: the MTA and the TLC both have fancy new online lost and founds if you ever find yourself having left your parents on the subway or your grandparents in a cab.
