*Ø* Taking it with you – Not
"Lille, France (Reuters) - Thieves dug up a Frenchwoman's grave and stripped her corpse of thousands of euros (dollars) worth of jewelry she had asked to be buried with to avoid arguments between her five children.
"Police said Monday the former partner of the woman, who died aged 82 in April, found her coffin abandoned in an alley near the cemetery in the village of Haulchin in northern France Monday."

Not to be nitpicking, but I don't know why the Reuters reporter wrote "euros (dollars)" like that. As of now, 1 euro = 1.25 USD and 1.70 AUD. Maybe CAD? No, 1 euro = 1.63 Canadian. I've even checked Barbados, Brunei, Bermuda, Jamaican, Namibian, New Zealand and Singapore dollars. Nope. Odd!
