How messed up is this? Opinions?

I just found this story on the Washington Post website.

A military veteran of the Korean War died at his home in Florida. He always wanted to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, so the family honored his request. He was cremated in Florida and this his ashes, in an urn, were brought to Washington DC in a van that the family had rented. Whilst the van was parked on a street in DC, someone broke into the vehicle and stole a bag...containing the ashes of the deceased soldier.

It take a moment a moment to load, but it's an incredible, not-so-happy story of a a man's dying wish being prevented because of some common criminal that was looking for some easy cash....

    I hope to God the bloody idiot brings it back once he figures out what he has. This is what happens when the economy goes to pot...more desperate acts by more people. I will pray the man is returned to his family and his wish is fulfilled. Thanks for the info!!!

    Do you really need opinions on this? Of course it is horrible. On the other hand, I don't even leave a laptop computer in the trunk of my car when I park it on the street so I can not imagine leaving the urn of any family members ashes in the car.
