The following news article appeared in a Florida newspaper:
When Nathan Radlich's house was burgled, thieves left his TV, his VCR, and even his watch. What they did take was a "generic white cardboard box filled with a grayish-white powder." At least, that is the way the police described it. A spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale police said that it looked similar to cocaine and they probably thought they'd hit the big time."
Then Nathan Radlich stood in front of the TV cameras and pleaded with the burglars: "Please return the cremated remains of my sister, Gertrude. She did 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 inside.
And there was a note. It said -- "Hoochie sold us the bogus blow, so we wasted Hoochie. Sorry we snorted your sister, man. No hard feelings. Have a nice day!"
