Update (3:00 p.m.): With assistance from the community Tacoma police have located the U-Haul in Tacoma with Megan鈥檚 father鈥檚 remains still inside.

SEATTLE 鈥� It wasn鈥檛 a typical move for Megan Plunkett. It was a move to honor her dad鈥檚 final wishes.

鈥淭hat was like the last thing he said was, 鈥榶ou need to go to graduate school, you need to go to [UC] Davis and you need to be influenced by your sisters,鈥� Plunkett said.

Her dad, Jerry, died earlier in the spring after a two-year battle with ALS, a neurological disease that took over his body over the last two years of his life. During that time, he moved to Seattle to be closer to Megan while she attended the University of Washington.

An anesthesiologist by trade, he knew the signs early and prepared his family for what would happen to him.

鈥淗e made it so special but honestly so did my whole family because everyone put in the effort to be making dishes together, and going to the dog park together every day and just beautiful things all the time and it was whatever he wanted,鈥� Megan recalled.

The months since he died have been a time of transition, planning her move to Sacramento to continue her education and be closer to her sisters.

Tuesday was the day. Megan, her mother and her soon-to-be stepdad had spent all day Monday, save a happy hour treat, going from Jerry鈥檚 house to his storage unit, to mom鈥檚 Belltown apartment.

鈥淭he signs, the pieces of art, I was excited watching those things moved into the truck. It reminded me of how cool and colorful the new place will be and how it will remind me of Dad.鈥�

They鈥檇 leave well before dawn Tuesday to give them time to unload into Megan鈥檚 new apartment in her new city. Megan went to bed around midnight on the couch, next to the window overlooking the U-Haul. She woke up as her stepdad did at 3:30 and noticed her car had sent her an alert: the door had been unlocked.

Megan鈥檚 initial anxiety was met with relief when she found her car and her dad鈥檚 artwork was still in it. She was so focused on the car, she missed what her stepdad saw鈥攖he U-Haul was gone.

One of the most precious pieces of cargo Megan put in was her father鈥檚 ashes. They were in a biodegradable, cylindrical, wooden urn, a temporary container as she was going to spread them on their family鈥檚 favorite beach with her sisters once she got to California. Now she鈥檚 pleading with people to be on the lookout so she gets that chance.

鈥淓ven holding the urn yesterday when I put it in the Truck I felt this reaction that I was holding my dad in this ash form, I didn鈥檛 know how to process that. Now, I鈥檓 like someone is driving around with it, it makes me want to cry. It makes me so sad.鈥�

A fifteen-foot U-Haul box truck with a Pelican and map of Alaska on the side is what they鈥檙e looking for. She鈥檚 posted to social media and reached out to several different law enforcement offices.

In those conversations, she was told those trucks are commonly stolen, one because they鈥檙e used for moving, and two she was told they鈥檙e easy to hot wire.

Megan and the officers wondered why the trucks weren鈥檛 equipped with trackers. 成人X站 7 reached out to U-Haul who says they don鈥檛 disclose that information but says they鈥檝e helped law enforcement track down trucks in the past.

鈥淲e employ a robust investigations unit that works closely with law enforcement in the tracking down of these criminals to ensure their prosecution.鈥� a spokesperson said.

The company urges people to park near lights and security cameras, back up to a wall if possible, and try not to leave it overnight if that can be avoided. The spokesperson says customers have also used AirTags to track their belongings.
