Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction
Ya just can't make this stuff up!! When southernFlorida 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!

Except that, in this case, it isn't.

Comments: One reason urban legends exist is that people can't resist the temptation to make a good story even better by embellishing the facts. Nathan Radlich is a real person. In May 1993, his house in Boynton Beach, Florida really was burgled, and the thieves really did make off with the cremains of Radlich's sister, Gertrude, leaving his TV, VCR, and watch untouched. Police speculated that the burglars mistook the ashes, which Radlich kept in a cardboard box in his fishing tackle box, for crack cocaine. The rest of the story is fiction.

As reported in the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel at the time, Radlich never found out what happened to Gertrude's cremains. There was no bullet-riddled corpse left on his doorstep, no handwritten apology for "snorting" his sister.

"The remains were probably strewn on the street when they found out it wasn`t drugs," Radlich was quoted as saying. For the dignity of all concerned, let's leave it at that.
