Police are currently searching for a man who allegedly walked in on a funeral, offered condolences to the departed's family, and then left - but not without making off with the funeral's collection bag.
Attendees of the funeral of 30-year old ironworker David Rabun told police that no one in David's family recognized the person, who according to Rabun's mother Sandra Alton, went up to the microphone and said he wanted to express his condolences, even though he did not work with David.
Jesse Alton, Rabun's sister, said that at some point during the funeral the man snatched a back full of cash and checks, along with photos, a toy for Rabun's 4-year old son, cards and a Bible.
Alton described the man, saying "He looked like an ironworker type of guy," as quoted by the AP. "A little rough but not homeless."
Police investigators were left with only the description of the man, who was said to have been about 5-foot-6, with blond hair and blue eyes, and was wearing a red shirt, a black jacket, and blue jeans.
"Hopefully someone either took some home video or a photo, something of the gentleman we're looking to speak with," Las Vegas Now quoted Capt. Will Minor of the Metro Police. "We can list him as a person of interest at this time only because no one saw him take the items."
Although the bag was found with some items still inside, the money was gone. It was estimated to have added up to about $10,000.
David Rabun of the Ironworkers Local 433, died last week from a 50-foot fall while fixing a steel beam to an upper floor of the Cosmopolitan high-rise.
