If you're into garden décor, you're familiar with GAZING BALLS. They're those decorative glass spheres that are mostly in gardens to look nice. But some people believe they have other benefits . . . like warding off evil and bringing good luck. But that "warding off evil" thing doesn't always work.
A homeowner in Austin, Texas named Gail Hines caught someone stealing her gazing balls on her Ring camera last Wednesday. The thief got away . . . but in the footage you can see AND hear him collecting the balls and driving away.
But these gazing balls happened to also contain the ASHES of Gail's PARENTS.
Gail's parents died during the pandemic, so she had their ashes put inside a couple of custom gazing balls . . . and they were among the ones stolen.
The thief is still on the run, and Gail is desperate to get her parents back. She's asking that the thief return the gazing balls, or for anyone who has any information to email her at: SouthAustinGazingBalls@gmail.com.
