It's the modern world. You aren't allowed to simply grieve anymore. You have to act like a pirate and protect your property before you can handle the arrangements that really matter.
I've been dealing with this in my own neighborhood. Woman died across the street, and I've had fake cops, fake insurance agents, fake bounty hunters, and everything knock on my door to find out what's going on with the house.
Called the police on all of them. All fakes.
When someone passes away, especially if they had nice stuff, you have to get on the case right away.
Family was grieving, and [censored] descends on the place to go around doing what he wanted with impunity.
