CNN - 14 November 2009: Veteran Col. Norbert Schmidt Ashes Stolen Before Burial At Arlington National Cemetery. The urn containing Schmidt's remains was stolen from the family's rented van while it was parked in front of one of the Smithsonian museums in D.C. The family has offered a $1,000 reward for information.

1. Why would anyone do something like that?

Unless the urn was valuable or something? :shrug:

I don't get it.

[ET Awful]

2. It sounds like they broke into the van and stole a bunch of stuff, GPS, jewelry, etc.

I think the thieves just grabbed everything that was loose and didn't bother to see what it was they were taking.

3. If that was my dad, it wouldn't be in a van where....

some fuckhead could take it, he was an important man. Blame is where you left him.
Poor , poor pity me. In this case it's the play, not the foul. IMHO

[Breathe]

4. Yeah the guy who stole the urn...

... bears no responsibility at all. They totally deserved it. Blame the victim!

5. I really appreciate this reporter and I've been noticing him a lot lately.

I like the fact he isn't so callous as some reporters seem to be.
