MIAMI (Reuters) - Burglars snorted the cremated remains of a man and two dogs in the mistaken belief that they had stolen illegal drugs, Florida sheriff's deputies said on Wednesday.
The ashes were taken from a woman's home in the central Florida town of Silver Springs Shores on December 15. The thieves took an urn containing the ashes of her father and another container with the ashes of her two Great Danes, along with electronic equipment and jewelry, the Marion County Sheriff's Office said.
Investigators learned what happened to the ashes after they arrested five teens in connection with another burglary attempt at a nearby home last week.
"The suspects mistook the ashes for either cocaine or heroin. It was soon discovered that the suspects snorted some of the ashes believing they were snorting cocaine," the sheriff's report said.
Once they realized their error, the suspects discussed returning the remaining ashes but threw them in a lake instead because they thought their fingerprints were on the containers, sheriff's spokesman Judge Cochran said.
Police divers were trying to recover the ashes. The suspects were jailed on numerous burglary and other charges.

Some people sure are stupid. Who the fuck keeps cocaine in an URN anyway? :facepalm:

I'm pretty sure if you got raided, they'd search every nook and cranny, upturn your coffee table and pull the carpets up. Still, might be a good idea.
Personally if I wanted to hide something really bad, I'd make a little safe-box, weatherproof it and keep it on the roof of my house.
I think the cops would probably be smart enough to poke around the urn. I don't think they would dump it out though.
What's even stranger is that she threw the dogs ashes in with the ashes of a dead man... Wouldn't it have made more sense to keep them separate?
Totally cannibal corpse.

Once they get to prison I will gladly send them the callus scrapings frumunda ma fut.
Here's one of the losers that was involved :facepalm:
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. He snorted his dad's ashes or something, didn't he?
