A friend of mine knows a family who were on vacation, driving through some remote part of the country in their station wagon. They had brought Grandma along even though she was not feeling well, because she didn't want to miss the trip.
Unfortunately, at some point during the long drive, Grandma passed away in the back seat of the car. The two children sitting next to her became hysterical.
Since they were far from the nearest city, the father did the only thing he could think of to remedy the situation he wrapped Grandma's body in a blanket and secured it to the luggage rack on top of the car.
When they finally reached a gas station, everyone clambered out of the station wagon while the father called authorities to report the death. He didn't realize he had left the keys in the ignition.
When the family went back to the car, they found it had been stolen along with all their possessions... and Grandma.
