Is there anything you can't buy
on eBay?
A California man was arrested
after allegedly stealing human
brain samples from a history
museum and selling them on the
online auction site.
David Charles, 21, was arrested
in December when officers
received a call from a buyer who
became suspicious about six
jars of brain tissue he had
bought on eBay.
It is claimed Charles broke into
the Indiana Medical History
Museum on several occasions
and stole the brain samples from
dead psychiatric patients.
"A museum's mission is to hold
these materials as cultural and
scientific objects in the public
interest," the museum's
executive director, Mary Nottage
said.
"To have that disturbed - to have
that broken - is extraordinarily
disturbing to those of us in the
museum field."
The buyer contacted the
museum after he spotted their
labels on the container he
bought from a middleman on
eBay.
Detectives traced the
transactions and spoke to the
seller who said was given them
by Mr Charles.
"It is a peculiar situation,"
Indianapolis police officer
Christopher Wilburn said.
