A Las Vegas, Nevada woman has been arrested after she was allegedly seen on surveillance video breaking into a funeral home and stealing a casket occupied by a corpse, before leaving both items in front of the business, according to police.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department arrested 47-year-old Patricia Sierra at about 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 29 and charged her with grand larceny of more than $1,200 and less than $5,000; burglary of a business; and removing, transferring or disturbing human remains.
Officers responded to the Affordable Cremation & Burial Service of Las Vegas on Charleston Boulevard on Aug. 27 after receiving a report that a body was lying face down in front of the business, with a casket nearby.
When officers arrived, they discovered the body lying in landscaped rocks. The officers also saw an open door with broken glass on one side of the building, and cleared the property to ensure nobody was inside.

She also said she did not remember breaking into the funeral home, but when asked if she had ever burglarized a business before, she allegedly said "yes."
Detectives then asked what her preferred method for breaking into a property is, and Sierra allegedly said it was to use a rock to break a window.
Under questioning, Sierra allegedly apologized and claimed she was not trying to be malicious, though at that point police asked her why she was apologizing if she was innocent.
After being shown the surveillance video, police said, Sierra allegedly acknowledged she was the person in the video, though she could not remember why she burglarized the business. She also said she blacked out that night after drinking six beers.
Court records show Sierra’s bail was set at $11,000 for the grand larceny charge, and

Yessiree, six beers will do that to you.
It sounds like something you’d see in a “Hangover” movie. 🤣
Is there a more severe statute if the body is inside, versus an empty casket?
I mean, is one a first degree theft, versus a second degree theft?
Perhaps without is misdemeanor, while with is a felony...
She needed 6 men to get away with it.
Is her middle initial “F”?
It’s a dead issue.

“And don’t you men try to make moves on me. I know what you males are like with a dazzling woman. Jungle animals.”
now that’s one girl desperate for a date.
“She needed 6 men to get away with it.”
Casket on a cart and she pushed into her station wagon?
Even then, this doesn’t make sense.
Just saw all three for the first time a couple of weeks ago. There is no fourth one planned despite rumors.
Cast said they would be up to it but “Helms later told PEOPLE, “Like Bradley said, it is highly unlikely Todd would be up for it.” “Maybe if there’s enough buzz?”
FB date didn’t show up, but the man was probably stiff.
There’s Florida man, and now, Las Vegas woman
Or hungry.
Low mileage, well maintained, and a great camper.
She looks like a real charmer.

In the obscure horror film Comedy of Terrors (Vincent Price,Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone but not considered a classic), Peter Lorre and buddy take caskets from funerals, go to a rural area and dump the dead bodies and then re-sell the caskets to new buyers. They run low on cash so start killing people to get more deals made.

Maybe it was the body of Claude musselman from the movie funny farm.
