"It's hard. It's hard," said Avila.
Those tears are not for the motorcycle that was stolen but for her son's ashes that were tucked away under the seat.
"It feels like it's a loss again. Somebody said you just can't catch a break," said Avila.
Avila's 28-year-old son, Trevor, was tragically killed last July. He was riding his bicycle in downtown Sacramento when a car hit him.
"When you lose a spouse you're a widow widower. When you lose a parent you're an orphan, but there is no name for when you lose a child."
To heal from the tragic loss, Avilla says she would ride with Trevor's remains to connect with him.
They were inside this crematory memorial locket and attached to a guardian bell.
"When you have a child taken already there's a sense of responsibility. I don't have the strength anymore."
She hopes the person who took it -- will find it in their heart to give it back.
"If they don't want to return the bike I understand, but if they were able to return it. It's not just sentimental it is a piece of my son."
Avilla says there are a number of Fresno and Clovis bike stores where they can be dropped off.
You can make the drop-off at one of these locations.
