(You just can't make this stuff up!!)

When southern Florida resident Nathan Radlich's house was burglarized
recently, thieves ignored his wide screen plasma TV, DVD player, stereo
system, and even left his Rolex watch.

What they did take, however, was a generic white cardboard box filled with
a grayish-white powder. (That's the way the police report described it.)

A spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale police said that it looked similar to
high grade cocaine and they'd probably thought they'd hit the big time.

Later, Nathan stood in front of numerous TV cameras and pleaded with the
burglars: Please return the cremated remains of my sister, Gertrude. She
died three years ago.'

The next morning, the bullet-riddled corpse of a local drug dealer known
as Hoochie Pevens was found on Nathan's doorstep.

The cardboard box was there too; about half of Gertrude's ashes remained.
Scotch taped to the box was this note which said: "Hoochie sold us the
bogus blow, so we wasted Hoochie. Sorry we snorted your sister. No hard
feelings. Have a nice day."

I'll never ceased to be amazed by humanity.

Neither will I. I didn't find that funny, more like disgusting and upsetting.

I did question whether the joke board was the right place to post this, but I didn't want to post it in news and views because I'm not 100% sure it's a true story.

*shrugs* maybe my diferent views on death are to blame here, but I did find it amusing. They're ashes. The person that they once belonged to is gone.

Thank you. I found it amusing which was why I posted. Disgusting and amusing are often very similar. LOL

I'm in the amused group as well. Like someone said before me, they're ashes. It's the soul that counts.
