Just three months ago Courtney Love revealed that her late husband, Kurt Cobain, had his estate plundered by identity theft. She claims $172 million was somehow stolen as the thieves took out multiple credit cards, lines of credit, and even bought a house using his name and social security number. She said that she knew the fraud was happening back in 2003 but that “nobody believed me until now.”
Now Courtney’s LA home has been robbed, either recently or some time in the past - it’s hard to tell with her, and she found that not only were thousands in jewelry and clothing missing but that someone had taken Kurt’s ashes. She claims she’s suicidal after finding the ashes missing, and that she “used to take them everywhere with me”
She had kept the singer’s ashes in a pink teddy-bear-shaped bag along with a lock of his hair.
But a couple of weeks ago, she was horrified to discover them gone, along with thousands of pounds worth of clothes and jewellery.
Courtney said: “I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me.
“I find it disgusting and right now I’m suicidal.
“If I don’t get them back I don’t know what I’ll do… They were all I had left of my husband. I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me.
“Now it feels like I have lost him all over again.”

It may be true that the ashes were all Courtney had left of Kurt. She sold most of his clothing at auction last year, saying “We’ll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity.” She claimed her daughter, Frances Bean, 15, didn’t “need to inherit a giant hefty bag full of flannel f***ing shirts … A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to ‘Teen Spirit’ — that’s what my daughter gets.” And she got the ashes and a lock of hair I guess. I would rather hang on to some clothing and personal items, but that’s just me.
