It's best to keep valuable things in a secure location.  But if thieves manage to break in anyway, it's good if they know what they're taking before they take it.

That's true for the two Florida teenagers who broke into a home and stole jewelry, electronics, and two urns containing what they believed was either cocaine or heroine.

They tried the contents of both, just to make sure.  That's how they figured out that these urns weren't containers of drugs.  As it turned out, one of the urns contained the cremated remains of the homeowner's father; the other one held the ashes of her two Great Danes.

Rather than risk being caught with stolen property, they tossed the urns (and presumably their contents) into a nearby lake.  Police found this out when they arrested the teens for burglarizing another home in the same neighborhood.

A buzzkill for all concerned, and a warning to homeowners:  label those funeral urns!
