Two Texas women who mastered the theft of grief are accused of stealing $50,000 worth of items from a woman’s home while she was attending her mother’s funeral.
Adrianne Hart, 31, and Sage Grider, 29, broke into Caryn Papantonakis’ Houston home while she was at the service with her two children last Tuesday, according to KTRK-TV.
While Papantonakis was at her mother’s funeral, the two allegedly stole jewelry, silverware, car keys and even the children’s school backpacks and Christmas stockings while ransacking the home, the report said.
Papantonakis estimated the value of the stolen items at $50,000.
“It was a breach,” he told ABC affiliate.
Hart and Sage were previously arrested in 2020 for stealing a car during the owner’s funeral.

When police found the car, it was reportedly full of other stolen goods and contained a list of the recently deceased and their family members.
Officers were also reportedly able to link them to the recently stolen car of a 97-year-old woman.
Papantonakis first realized he was being targeted when his son looked at the feed of the home’s surveillance system and noticed the intruder, who had been in the house for more than half an hour.
Police tracked down the suspect by tracing the stolen AirPods to the apartment they shared, according to the report.
Once there, they found other stolen items and located the additional stolen property at a nearby pawn shop.

Hart and Grider are still on probation from the 2020 offense. They were ordered to stay away from each other until their new burglary charges are served, and are being held on $105,000 bond each.
Papantonakis, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post, attended their Monday court date.
“Just seeing them today and knowing that they’re going through all of our stuff and that they’re in my kids’ room, it’s emotional,” she told the station.
The family intends to start a foundation named after their late mother and grandmother that will provide a housekeeper for the newly bereaved during the funeral.
