In the WEIRD NEWS section of the Bloomington Herald Times, I found this bizarre story:

Apparently a gravedigger, Keith Chartrand, broke into a casket while he was digging a grave and stole a skull and thigh bone. Then he took them home with the intention of making an ashtray and pipe from the body parts.

He was discovered Wednesday after his wife called the police with a complaint that he had killed her dog.

Chartrand was charged with removing a body from a grave and with cruelty to animals.
