CROOK BOTCHES FUNERAL PARLOR BREAK-IN

CROOK BOTCHES FUNERAL PARLOR BREAK-IN.

It seems to me the criminal mind just isn’t what it used to be. Where there were clever plots, intricate plans, elaborate schemes, now has degenerated into impulsive, spur of the moment, absurdities. It’s enough to make great thieves roll over in their graves. Take the case of the man who broke into the funeral parlor in Spain. First thing is that, he made so much noise breaking in he would have awakened the dead. He did awaken the neighbors who called the police over the racket. What was this guy thinking? “Maybe I’ll just stop by to get a feel for the place?” He certainly wasn’t there to make funeral arrangements. The next baffling move he made was when the police arrived, he chose to lie under a glass case imitating a corpse as his hiding place. Apparently, in Spain, the mourners are allowed to view the deceased through a glass case during the wake. Hiding in plain sight does not qualify as hiding. The idea of being a dead ringer for a corpse may have merit, but, if you’re going to play dead, hold your breath. The cops spotted him because he was still breathing. Dead giveaway if you ask me. That and the fact that his clothes were rumpled and dirty from the break in. The guy may not have been deceased, but his brain was, flat-lined, no firing of the synapses what so ever. He makes zombies look smart. The police or the owners of the funeral parlor still don’t know what he broke in for. There was no money or valuables in the place at all. They are baffled over the intent of the break-in. I wonder if his name is Igor and he works for an exiled Bavarian doctor that performs dubious experiments with lightning on dark nights in old castles. You just can’t get good help these days.
