> 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."
