Sadly, this story is not surprising. My father, once a captain in the Volunteer Fire Department, used to go and sit houses during the funerals of fallen brethren, both police and firefighter. It was to avoid stories like this:
The apartment of a Marine reservist killed in Iraq was robbed this week while family members were preparing for his funeral, police said.There's a certain kind of ghoul who looks out for the funerals of heroes, in order to feed. May justice find him.
Cpl. John Todd, 25, was killed last month when a roadside bomb exploded. Two other Marines were also killed in the attack.
Todd's family was getting ready for his funeral on Wednesday when a thief, who apparently was aware of the funeral, broke into Todd's apartment, ransacked it and stole his computer, police said.
UPDATE: It appears the police caught someone.
