You Can't make this stuff up.

[Tom-D]

Ya can't make this stuff up!! When southern Florida resident Nathan
Radlich's house was burgled 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 is 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."

Unfortunately, they did make it up... or at least part of it.

According to Snopes, the theft of the cremains is real. The real story ends there: nothing was ever recovered, and no body, Hoochie or other, ended up on the doorstep.

You have your head in the sand if you dont think there is a "Hoochie"
near where you live. This "culture" is everywhere.
