Funeral Cars Robbed
You would think robbers and the dregs of society would have enough respect to leave funeral cars lined up for a procession alone. However, you’d be wrong.
Police in Fairburn, Georgia reported thieves burglarized several cars parked outside a local funeral on Camp Creek Parkway. According to reports, the thieves got away with hundreds of dollars in cash as well as several cell phones, Social Security cards and iPods. The funeral cars were lined up for the procession which was going to occur after the funeral.
“Why people would do it, I have no idea,” said one brother of the deceased. “And right in the middle of a funeral.” He went on to say, “It was a bad thing. I mean it hurt me for something like that to happen at a funeral. They have no respect for the dead.” He even noticed the car directly behind the hearse was broken into as well.
One person attending the funeral – the deceased’s niece – had more than $700 in cash stolen from her car. She had just received the money to put toward her tuition at Jacksonville State University.
I thought people had more respect than this, especially in the South. Apparently, it’s a sign of the times and people simply have lost respect for everything that is sacred.
