What Do You Think?

[janetyu]

Some one has got to explain to me the logic of stealing a corpse for ransom. Or why ANYONE would pay the ransom to get the body back.

Not meaning to be cold. But what are the body snatchers going to do? It is not like they can hurt the person. And does it really matter if the body is in the grave or in the idiots’ basement?

My personal vote would be to tell the morons to keep the body. I figure when the stench get to them (or get tired of trying to explain the body on the sofa) they will give it back.

Body of TV quizmaster snatched from grave

ROME | Wed Jan 26, 2011

ROME (Reuters) - The body of Mike Bongiorno, who was Italy's top quiz show host for more than 50 years and a close friend of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, was stolen from his grave, officials said on Tuesday.

Bongiorno, who died in Sept 2009 at the age of 85, was buried in Arona near Milan. A pensioner who regularly visits the cemetery alerted police that the grave had been violated and emptied. Italian media said no ransom had been demanded so far.

Bongiorno, a fixture in Italian television since its first broadcast in the 1950s, helped Berlusconi launch commercial television in the 1970s.

It is not the first time that the body of a famous personality has been snatched in Italy.

In 2001, in a cemetery near the one where Bongiorno was buried, the corpse of an investment banker Enrico Cuccia was stolen and a ransom demanded. The thieves were identified and arrested.
