Dumbest Teen Burglars Ever Mistake Urn Filled with Ashes for Cocaine

Three unusually stupid teens broke into a Missouri home and stole over 2,000 dollars worth of cash, jewelry, and electronics. As if that wasn’t dumb enough, they also stole a box filled with the ashes of the homeowners father, thinking it was cocaine.

Yup, you read that right. They mistook the ashes of a dead person for cocaine, and one of them actually tasted it. HE TASTED IT! The only way I can believe these kids could think that someone would just have a covered glass case
filled with cocaine in a living room is if they thought they were breaking into Scarface’s Missouri vacation home.
According to investigators, 17 year-old Devin Gesell was the head of the trio, with the other burglars being minors.

According to Gesell, the three threw the remains out the window of the getaway car after realizing it wasn’t cocaine. You know, because tasting the charred ashes of a dead man just doesn't give quite the same high as a controlled substance.
This sounds more like the B-plot of an episode of Breaking Bad than something that could ever happen in real life. It’s just too dumb to be non-fiction, but it’s also the greatest story of karma in action I’ve ever heard.
