Burglary in Florida

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, his VCR, 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 at least 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 the 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."
