That’s right…

you’d better wait until he’s dead to rob his house….
A New Orleans police sergeant who survived the D-Day Normandy invasion to battle criminals for 63 years in the city of New Orleans finally lost one to the bad guys last week — only hours after he died.
The burglars, two men and a woman, broke into Police Sgt. Manuel Curry’s house Thursday morning and stole several rifles and a handgun, along with jewelry, money and medication, New Orleans police said.
Curry, 84, believed to be the longest-serving active-duty police officer in the country, died of heart failure hours earlier, according to The Times-Picayune.
His widow Genevieve “Jackie” Curry, whom he was married to for 51 years, was at a funeral home planning her husband’s burial when she learned of the burglary, the paper reported.
God Speed Mr. Sgt. Curry. I’m sure if you were still on this Earth when these scumbags broke into your house, you’d have dispatched them like you did the Nazis at Normandy…

At least they caught the bad guys (and gal). It still sucks, though, that Sgt. Curry didn’t have the chance to take them out. Godspeed, Sgt.
