A woman in Las Vegas found herself in hot water after allegedly breaking into a funeral home and stealing a casket containing a body. Patricia Sierra, 47, faces charges including grand larceny, burglary, and disturbing human remains.

The incident unfolded in the early morning hours of August 27th when a 911 call reported a person sprawled face down outside Affordable Cremation and Burial Service. Police arrived to find a door ajar and a broken window leading to the funeral home's viewing room.

Security footage captured Sierra breaking into the funeral home, picking up the casket, and carrying it out - dead body and all! It seems Sierra's goal wasn't to steal valuables, but a casket. Why? The motive behind this bizarre heist remains unclear.

Sierra claims she wasn't trying to be malicious, and that if she was intoxicated at the time, it wasn't intentional. But why would someone steal a casket, even if they were under the influence?

There are several questions arising from this incident: What could have led Sierra to such a drastic action? Did she truly intend to steal the casket or was there a breakdown in her mental state? Could there be other individuals involved? Was the security of the funeral home adequate, or were there vulnerabilities that contributed to the crime?
