Man Pleads Guilty to Stealing Human Brains from Medical Museum
A 23-year-old Indiana man pleaded guilty on Wednesday to breaking into a medical museum and stealing preserved human brains and other tissue that he then sold online, authorities said.
David Charles, of Indianapolis, pleaded guilty to six charges including receiving stolen property, and burglary in a Marion County court where Magistrate Amy Barbar sentenced him to one year of home detention and two years of probation, county prosecutor spokesman Anthony Deer said.
Charles on multiple occasions broke into the Indiana Medical History Museum to steal jars of brains and other human tissue, according to Marion County prosecutor's office.
The museum is a former hospital for the insane founded in 1848 and later converted into a museum with an autopsy room and anatomical museum that displays preserved specimens, mostly brains, organized by pathology.
Charles was arrested in December 2013 after a San Diego man who bought six jars of brain material for $600 on eBay alerted police, according to court documents. Many of the items Charles sold were recovered when the San Diego man matched the items he bought to those stolen from the museum based on research he did online, according to court documents.
Investigators were able to identify Charles partly because he left behind in the museum a piece of paper with his bloody fingerprint on it, according to court documents.

“Abby who?”
I'll sell your brains on Ebay?
It is impolite to be both batter and softball pitcher.
Don’t leave home without one.
If liberals had just half a brain they would know how vitally important that is.
I think that we can rule out that the brains were from liberals, since these were whole brains, and not half brains.
he doesn’t have any brains him self
Manuel = "Brains? Where we get zees brains?"
Well.. at least he didn’t steal any prostate warmers.
