Times are definitely hard - a crazy story

I came across this article on bbc.com. Crazy things keep happening.
Here's the headline:

"Two men face trial after wheeling their dead friend
down a Manhattan street in an alleged attempt to cash his Social
Security cheque."

The two men wheeled their dead friend all the way from their flat to a shop, in an attempt to cash his social security check, worth $355.
Apparently, they had tried to cash the check earlier but the clerk requested that their friend be present there. This prompted the two men to go back to their flat, dress up the corpse and then wheel him straight to the shop.
This attracted the attention of passers-by and the police were notified.

Here"s the full story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7181246.stm
