Three months ago, the family home in Ashkelon of Emil Azulai - one of 73 soldiers killed in the helicopter crash in northern Israel almost six years ago - was broken into, and money and jewelry was stolen. What the robbers did not realize, however, was that some of the jewelry had tremendous sentimental value, as it had belonged to Emil. The family made a public appeal, and two days ago, it was answered. "In the blue trash bin near the bus stop across from the main phone office," said an anonymous voice in a phone call to the Ashkelon Police Department, "you will find the jewelry wrapped in toilet paper." When the police arrived on the scene, together with a bomb sapper, a second phone call came in: "Tell the police they're precisely in the right place."
After the jewelry was found, identified, and returned to Emil's family, his father said, "I don't care about the other stuff [that was not returned]. This took me six years back, and it all came bursting out again… I am happy that at least they did this little act."
