Only in Florida.....
A news article from a Florida Newspaper:
When Nathan Radlich's house was burgled, thieves left his TV, his VCR,
and even left his watch. What they did take was "generic white
cardboard box filled with grayish-white powder." (That at least is the
way the police described it.) A spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale
police said, "that it looked similar to cocaine and they'd probably
thought they'd hit the big time."
Then Nathan stood in front of the TV cameras and pleaded with the burglars:
"Please return the cremated remains of my sister, Gertrude. She died
three years ago."
Well, the next morning, the bullet-riddled corpse of a 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. And there
was this note. It
said: "Hoochie sold us the bogus blow, so we wasted Hoochie. Sorry we
snorted your sister. No hard feelings. Have a nice day."
