A loved one dies and you attend the funeral. While you’re at the funeral, your home is robbed. Bad coincidence? Not in Kansas City, Mo., where a burglar used obituaries to time his crimes.

Dan Johnson of Kansas City was convicted of 10 counts of burglary. He and an accomplice had broken into more than 30 K.C.-area homes. They picked victims by reading real estate listings and obituaries, robbing model homes, homes on real estate tours, or the homes where the owner would be attending a funeral.

One man was attending his wife’s funeral while Johnson burglarized his home. Man, wouldn’t that just bite?

Johnson faces up to 78 years in prison. While he was opportunistic, he was also just plain cruel. How else do you explain robbing from someone who was already grieving?
