Someone in Florida left Mom in the lost-and-found.

A 35mm film case was left in the DeBary Diner’s lostand-found bin — with human ashes inside and the word “MOM” taped on top.

Someone broke into 4 Rivers Equipment in Cheyenne, Wyo., three times in September, swiping $7,500 worth of tools, police said.

A cat burglar hid in a Sears outlet in Concord, Calif., until after closing time, then broke into the jewelry department and scooped up 127 rings worth $218,000, authoritie­s said.

The crook did trip an alarm, bringing cops to the scene. But police said they believe the suspect was hiding again when officers looked around — somehow missing him and allowing him to escape.
