Man tries to sell stolen brains on eBay, police say

http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/03/us/indianapolis-stolen-brains-ebay/


Suspect David Charles allegedly stole more than 60 jars of brain and other human tissues in October from a warehouse space at the Indiana Medical History Museum, the Marion County prosecutor's office said in court papers Thursday. He is accused of breaking into the museum and taking jars of brains and tissue from autopsies performed on patients in the 1890s. Court documents said some jars were sold on the auction site eBay by a middleman, despite a company policy against listing "humans, the human body, or any human body parts or products."

*Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman and Ted Cruz have place bids on the brains.
