A local man took more than just a ceiling light home after a trip to Lowe’s Home Improvement store in Bangor.
Inside the sealed ceiling light box, the man found a collection of family memorabilia which included old photos, a picture of a hockey player from Medicine Hat, Alberta, and a small tan manilla envelope containing “Granpa G’s” ashes, according to a Bangor Police Department Facebook post.

Fortunately, the department’s efforts to find the owners of the mementos were successful and “Granpa G will be with family by this afternoon,” an update of the post later read.
Police are unclear how the memorabilia ended up in the box — and whether “Granpa G” was a person or pet — but they believe that the ceiling light was previously returned to the store in the wrong box.
