Although ransom is usually demanded only after the kidnapping of a [[person]], it is not unheard of for [[thieves]] to demand ransom for the return of an inanimate object or body part. In 1987, thieves broke into the tomb of Argentinian president [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Per%C3%B3n Juan Perón] and stole his hands; they later demanded $8 million US for their return. The ransom was not paid.
