St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Joplin, Missouri has shipped their bells to be evaluated. These bells were in the basement of the church and it took several days before they could be removed after the Tornado. The sanctuary of the church was destroyed but the small bells were saved from water damage as they were stored on a shelf. The large cases were stored on the floor.
The white inside the cases is mold.
View a slideshow of the bells as the cases were opened below.

This is what happens when a bunch of teen delinquents steal a case of bells, throw them in the air in a parking lot, and let them drop.
