BECKLEY, W.Va. -- A West Virginia woman is accused of stealing a hearse containing a body from a funeral home.

Beckley police tell media outlets the hearse's driver left the vehicle's door ajar and the engine running outside a local funeral Tuesday while he went to unlock the door to the building.

Angela Dehart of Beaver is accused of taking the hearse and driving it home. Police found the hearse and the body a couple hours later.

Police say the 23-year-old Dehart told investigators she and another person had been in the area in another vehicle. She got out of that vehicle and took the hearse.

DeHart faces charges of grand larceny and displacement of a body.

There was no telephone listing for Dehart in the Beaver area.

Maybe they will attach abuse of a corpse onto those charges as well.

I'd just like to know what the heck she was thinking. Hmmm, lets steal a hearse, it will blend in. Some people are just stupid.

Blend in? That is why I drive one.

Here's one for you. A true life "Weekend at Bernie's". Similar to a scene in the movie starring John Candy called "Only the Lonely" where they steal the corpse from the funeral home and take him to the local pub.

Heard one new report say it was "beaten around" or something to that extent from being jostled around in the casket due to the way the hearse was driven. That would be abuse in my book.
