　　美国佛罗里达警方称该州日前发生一起奇特偷窃案，5名笨贼偷偷潜入一户人家，误把骨灰当成毒品偷走，直到吸食后才恍然大悟。
　　The ashes were taken from a womans home in the central Florida town of Silver Springs Shores on December 15. The thieves took an urn containing the ashes of her father and another container with the ashes of her two Great Danes, along with electronic equipment and jewelry.
　　去年12月，警方接到报案，位于佛罗里达州中部的银泉岸小镇有一户人家称家中失窃，房主发现不但珠宝首饰和一些电器不见了，他父亲和他两条爱犬的骨灰也不翼而飞。
　　Investigators learned what happened to the ashes after they arrested five teens in connection with another burglary attempt at a nearby home last week.
　　直到上周，这5名小偷在附近犯案时被捕，一切才水落石出。
　　"The suspects mistook the ashes for either cocaine or heroin. It was soon discovered that the suspects snorted some of the ashes believing they were snorting cocaine," the sheriffs report said.
　　警方在报告中称："5名不满20岁的小偷在行窃过程中，误把房主父亲和爱犬的骨灰当成可卡因或海洛因。吸了一些骨灰后，才发现自己搞错了。"
　　Once they realized their error, the suspects discussed returning the remaining ashes but threw them in a lake instead because they thought their fingerprints were on the containers, sheriffs spokesman Judge Cochran said.
