 If you have an Uncle Jack.. and his urn is missing... then this story is for you.

No Uncle Jack? You may want to keep reading anyway.

KBCY radio's Terry Diamond says she recently came home to find an urn on her front porch. This wasn't your common abandoned urn, either. The urn came with a note:

"Domi, called many times! Your new home is nice...had to drive back. Take care of Uncle Jack! love Eddy."

It might sound like a silly prank, but Abilene police are taking it seriously. Diamond turned over "Uncle Jack" to them until someone comes forward and claims him.

Diamond seems to think it's the real deal. "Our concern is that someone is expecting this delivery and it got delivered to the wrong house," said Diamond. "So, Uncle Jack is here waiting for you."

Diamond and police now hope all the media attention prompts Uncle Jack's family to come forward.
