Embalmer Accused of Stealing Gold Teeth from Bodies

LONGMONT, Colo. -- A part-time embalmer is accused of stealing gold crowns and fillings from corpses, and then selling them to pawn shops. Adrian Kline, 43, was indicted by a Boulder County Grand Jury on eight counts of providing false information to a pawn broker and two counts of providing false information to a secondhand dealer. Prosecutors allege Kline removed gold crowns from bodies prior to embalming, and even stole dental gold from some cremated remains. Several bags of gold crowns and the remnants of gold crowns were recovered from area pawn shops and secondhand dealers, said Longmont Police spokesman Jeffrey Satur. Bail is set at $2500.

• So? The gold wasn't doing the deceased any good. I'd say this young man was just exercising his entrepreneurial muscles.

• Definitely a victimless crime.

• Where they're going, they don't need it.

• Where are they going?

• People are so tookie about their dead family members. In many cases the dead are neglected or treated like shit when they're alive, but if a lawsuit is sensed, especially if there's big money involved, well then, LOOK OUT! "Maybe old, broke, crazy drunk Aunt Ethel will pay off after all!" they must be thinking.

• A little OT, but why do people get gold crowns? They are SO tacky looking. Why not get a regular crown that looks natural?

• Hint, R6. The people are deceased and likely very old.

• I'm from Longmont. What a shit hole. I'm surprised anyone had gold to take.
