The homeowners were sort of taken aback at the ashes spread over the table or counter, mentioning to police that the burglars must have been pretty thorough to sift through the dog's ashes. The cops looked at the pattern in the ashes, looked at the urn, and looked at the name on the urn, and explained that "Charlie" was slang for cocaine.
Haverhill, MA, ~2002, iirc.
Another quote: "It was horrible knowing they were in my house, but the idea of them trying to get high on a dead dog made me feel better."
