People leave all kinds of items in vehicles that end up at Red Lion Salvage in York County.But two recent finds were more unusual than most, and the office manager made it her mission to find their rightful place.Sheila Ferraro thought she had seen it all until an abandoned car ended up at the business about a year ago. When they opened up the trunk to take the spare tire and the jack out, that s when they saw the urn, she said.The urn had the remains of a Lancaster man and a tag from the Lancaster County Coroner s Office. I was like, oh, my God, this is creepy. And then I m like, wait this is a person. I’ve got to find where he belongs, Ferraro said.She reached out to the coroner s office. A woman who was a deputy coroner at the time went to the salvage yard to retrieve the urn, and it was eventually returned to the man’s family.About a year later, workers discovered a casket flag for veteran Leonard Pietras in another vehicle.Ferraro contacted the VFW.
