[Laughing]

Wonder what the thief thought they might find in that box? Something profitable?

Never noticed a post for Human Head on Facebook Marketplace.

Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

Cmon, you guys know it had to be a WSer that grabbed them.

This is almost as funny as someone who stole a box on our porch, it was supposed to be picked up by USPS. The thief ended up with my husband's colon cancer screening test kit.

Crime really doesn't pay.

In the area where I live packages were being stolen regularly from porches back in November-December. Porch pirates were following Amazon delivery trucks and picking up packages as soon as they were dropped off.

Some of the neighbors started boxing up their dog poo and taping the box up to look like a delivery, then setting it out on the front porch. Other neighbors boxed up used kitty litter and set it on their porch.

Wait a minute. Off a freight truck? This calls for more information on my part. Were they heads with brains intact? Eyes? Preparing to go this route once I leave this shell.

My sibling the mail carrier had two funeral homes on one of his routes. Some of the implements they ordered would freak him out. Beats delivering the live pigeons though.

You guys always find the most interesting news. Oh, and no I haven't been in Denver.

There was a segment on the news here, the shipment was 'headed' to a program that trains nurses & paramedics.

(Just can't help myself sometimes.)

Friend, I'm so glad you can't help it sometimes. Guess what? Neither could I!

Thank you! Missing y'all.

I figured it was intended for research purposes.

I used to work with a medical group where we had doctors in a Fellowship program for orthopedic specialties. We received shipments of frozen shoulders, arms, hands, etc.

I worked with a man who passed away suddenly. His body was donated to science. I learned then that when this happens, the body is pieced off to different medical organizations. A knee here, an elbow there. His family said that eventually they received some cremated remains, but I doubt they were even his.

When people donate their bodies (or the body of their loved one) to “science” or “research “ this is where the body parts often end up. I hope this is explained to people when they consent to donate. I think there might be a misconception that some people think donating their body to science means that it will be used for groundbreaking research of some sort. In some cases, maybe. But often individual body parts will be shipped to different places for medical practice.

Big Yikes! There is a lot of money to be made from human body parts, but just the heads?? And did they know what they were taking? How do you miss the big label that says "Human Body Parts" on it?

I guess someone had a yen to play with dolls but didn't want to pay Mattel's jacked-up prices on Barbies.
