Stolen Hero in Austin
I wrote about deceased Norbett Schmidt whose ashes were stolen while his family took him to Arlington to be interred last November. Well, Matt sends us a link to yet another veteran’s ashes that were stolen from the family’s car;
Her niece’s Coach brand purse lay beneath the passenger’s seat with a return ticket to Massachusetts, the teen’s identification and bank card, and the small cardboard box containing her father’s ashes inside, Postell said.
Charlene said her nephew went out to the car first and came back into the deli to tell them what had happened. They waited about an hour for police to respond, and in that time Charlene called local media to get a message out.
“We need everything back in the purse, but we are most concerned for the ashes,” Charlene Postell said. “We’d take it back, no questions asked, but without the ashes, I can’t bury my father.”
Postell served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
I wonder what goes through a thief’s mind when they find the ashes in their pile of booty and they don’t make an effort to return the remains to the family.

And people wonder why I hate Massholes. Well, people up here don’t wonder so much.
Criminals don’t give a shit, that’s why they are criminals.
What should go through their minds is a .45 or seven.
Mind? What mind?
If it isn’t valuable, it’s thrown away.
Never “mind” the emotions of the victims for something of sentimental but not intrinsic value.
“I wonder what goes through a thief’s mind when they find the ashes in their pile of booty and they don’t make an effort to return the remains to the family. “
These lower than whaleshit types have no emotion other than considering their next “high”, their next meth hit, their next rock, etc. They thrive because they have no ability to care about anyone but themselves. Petty thieves are just petty people. Totally classless, just like the big time thieves, and a useless burden on society.
Without going quite so far as Charles Bronson in the set of movies he did on such slimers, we citizens must again get back to our responsibilities and stop these bastards. Cops cannot be proactive, but are reactive in their legal standing. They do a fairly good job of taking reports. It is up to us to act when we see something about to happen.
Yesterday, I saw two pants on the ground types, casing a car in the local Lowe’s parking lot. I confronted them, letting them know that I had photographed them, and had the tag number of the vehicle that dropped them off. Last I saw of them they were hoofing it out of Lowes, talking on a cell phone that was probably stolen.
Poor lady, will most likely have to grieve over this for some time.
