Maybe it was a suicide.

Reported a burglary and didn’t look at the 900 pound safe until the following day? Didn’t notice any “ooze” around a safe “suspended by a floor hack”?

A little too carefree If you ask me.

Well, it didn't have any valuables in it so it probably wasn't on his mind to look.

I note they didn't identify the burglar, but I'm sure everybody knew him as "Slim."

Must be a heavy loss for his family.


Surely, they're crushed.


By the weight of all this...

He didn't crack the safe, but the safe...

Good outcome, if not messy.

He didn't realize the full weight of his actions until it was too late.

“MARION, Ind. (AP) — Authorities in northeastern Indiana have identified a suspected burglar who was apparently crushed to death when a more than 900-pound (408-kilogram) antique safe fell over onto him.

The Grant County coroner’s office says autopsy results were pending for 28-year-old Jeremiah A. Disney of Marion…”

In a just world, the burglar’s estate would get to pickup the tab for the cleanup. Of course, he didn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out, so that wouldn’t have worked anyway.

Jeremiah, you just got crushed by a safe. Where are you going?

Bon Mot!

This incident reminds me of a children's book, Flat Stanley. Maybe Jeremiah's brother can inflate him with a bicycle pump.
