Times are tough and most of us are always looking for ways to earn a few extra bucks to help pay for those luxuries like food, gas and shelter…..there is always a way especially if you watch early morning infomercials…..and there are some pretty unique ways to earn that cash…but this one is NOT on that list!
Adrian Kline, a 43-year-old Brighton, Colo. embalmer is accused of stealing gold teeth from corpses and then pawning them for cash, according to the Longmont Times-Call. Longmont pawn brokers noticed that Kline was frequently bringing in dental gold and thought it was “creepy” and “weird.”
Prior to embalming, Kline is suspected of removing gold crowns from the bodies, and then after cremation, Kline is suspected of removing dental gold from the remains, according to 9News. He would then allegedly take the gold to pawn shops to sell. A Boulder Grand jury indicted Kline on suspicion of eight counts of providing false information to a pawn broker and two counts of providing false information to a secondhand dealer.
Police say that from May through November of 2011, Kline made 17 sales at various locations that added up to nearly $4,000. Kline told police he has eight children and needed the money for food. He also told them that he only took gold out of the dumpster behind Aspen Mortuaries after they had been thrown out, but police believe the gold was taken from bodies inside the mortuary.
I am sorry but this is just sick…..apparently robbing the dead is not illegal but giving false info to a pawn dealer is…..I remember the stories from the Death Camps of WW2…it seems that according to law is not that big of a deal…..
