Man Smuggles Dead Father-In-Law on Bus

LONDON (Reuters) - An English rugby fan dressed his dead father-in-law and tried to smuggle
the body back home from Scotland on a tour bus, police said Sunday.

The bizarre incident happened last weekend after the two men watched a rugby league final in
Edinburgh on the Saturday and then only the son-in-law woke up in their hotel room in Glasgow on
the Sunday morning.

``For reasons known only to himself, he decided to dress the man I believe in a shirt and tie and a
suit and also a baseball cap and he got him onto the bus,'' a Glasgow police spokeswoman said.

``Apparently, he pulled the cap down over the man's eyes and the rest of the coach were unaware
that the man was dead.''

Once on the bus, the man phoned his wife to tell her that her 77-year-old father had died,
prompting police in England to stop the bus en route and remove the body.

The son-in-law was not charged.

Tim, according to some financial advisers who have sent me PMs, stock can be moved to a cash account and shares can be held by the financial institution rather than posted to the owner.

A friend here was posted his Cytoclonal Pharmaceutical stock certificate, but he sent it back as he wanted them to hold it so he could act quickly if he wanted to sell. [I think it was the CYPH stock].

I'm hoping my Tonka-Truck is NOT hijacked. I will equip it with Globalstar position location and anti-theft security. Also 3G WWeb with SnapTrack as backup and to cruise the Web while cruising the backblocks. It's going to be a great little truck.
