One For Ripley
True story reported in 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 greyish
-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 Gertrud e's as hes 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."
