However, stealing from the dead is never a good idea. Hasnt the guy read "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark"?
The dead always come back for their possessions.

At only $2000 value, it's not like the thing was an original BlackGuard or some other insanely rare collector's instrument. And even if it was, stealing from the dead is pretty low
No real difference in my mind between stealing the deceased's guitar and prying the gold fillings out of his mouth

As for the cemetery worker, I can see how he wouldn't feel bad about doing it. I worked with the dead for several years consistently in tissue donation and you lose the "weirdness" most people have around dead bodies pretty fast. You just start to think about things differently. He's probably pretty hardened to the whole thing and figured why let a good guitar rot with a corpse?
Had I been that guy I might have done it too... I'm not a thief because I don't think people should take something someone else worked hard for and was enjoying. But come on, the guy's dead and I don't believe in an afterlife or a supreme being so I'm not worried about posthumous or karmic repercussions. See how you start to rationalize things?? lol

I do not care a person's belief is, as long as they have something they strongly believe in, that is more than enough. That is their property, what they do with it is their business.

They should give the Tele back to the family and bury the thief with the deceased!

I never said I WOULD do it, but that I could see why the guy did it and how easy it is to rationalize doing it. Just like the guy who thinks it's ok to steal a loaf of bread because he has two starving kids to feed.

There was a Man who was a quite generous friend, and had loaned money to some of His pal's that didn't pay him back before He died.
At the Man's funeral, His wife stood beside His casket sobbing. The line of People walked by paying their respects, when one of His dead beat Pal's comes up to the casket crying a pokes $200.00 cash in the front pocket of the dead mans suit. The dead beat pal say's in a sobbing voice, "Here's the money that I owed You, and was too sorry to pay back while You were alive". The line of mourners moves along, and another dead beat pal walks up. Same story, "Here's the $300.00, You let Me borrow a couple of Years ago". Pal pokes money in suit pocket and moves along. Towards the end of the line another Dead beat pal comes up, with a check in his hand. He folds up the check, stuffs it into the dead guy's suit pocket, takes out the $500.00 cash, and says "I've felt so bad for borrowing that $300.00 from You, so here's a check for $900.00. You can keep the extra $100.00 for interest and cashing My check, I'll take the $500.00 cash for the change. Thanks Man, We'll miss Ya."

On another note, there is the story of the man who wanted to take all his money with him, so it was to be in the casket to be buried with him.
His wife took the cash out, and deposited a check in the amount of the cash. Let him cash it when he gets there, LOL.
Aw rats, got beat to the punch.

People really have some weird notions sometimes. |

Sounds like this guy has some bad karma coming his way. |
