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
