Earlier this week, three Romanian priests got caught stealing a dead man's hand in Greece. However, this wasn't your run-of-the-mill grave robbery, because that hand belonged to a saint, Haralambie, who, according to the Romanian Orthodox Church, is supposed to protect you from plague and famine.
Local media reports that the priests, who were visiting the Mega Spileo Monastery in Kalavryta, along with 40 other people, decided to simply swipe the holy relic. The Greek monks were used to such attempts, and an alarm went off, alerting security. The Romanian priests made a run for it and, like any good pickpockets, threw the holy hand into some nearby grass, because they knew that it if you're not caught red-handed with the item you've allegedly stolen, it's very hard to convict you of theft.

This is what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you.
