People unclear on the concept - one funny, one sad

A morning two-fer... From ABC Action News - Ocala, Florida:

Man sells stolen items at neighborhood yard sale
Police say an Ocala man was selling stolen property at a yard sale in the same neighborhood as the home he robbed.

Fred and Betty McAteers, who live in Ocklawaha, arrived at a home they own in Ocala on Monday to find that it had been burglarized. They returned Tuesday and walked around the neighborhood to see if anyone knew anything about the theft. During their walk, they saw their dresser sitting on the front lawn of an apartment building.

And this sad story of corporate stupidity and lack of simple compassion from the Bangor, Maine Bangor Daily News:

Airline denies dying Florida man boarding at BIA
Dennis Hill�s dying wish was to visit family in Maine and then return to his Lakeland, Fla., home that overlooked the water.

Hill arrived in Etna two weeks ago to say his final farewell to his brother and two sons, but he never made it back to his Florida house, where he loved to drink a cup of coffee in the morning and watch the neighborhood alligator.

And the reason:

Allegiant refused to fly Hill home.

"The pilot said he would not allow him to fly on the plane, and the reason he gave � if the plane crashed, nobody would be able to help him," said Richard Brackett, Hill�s brother.

What a putz...
