"Three men were arrested earlier this month on charges of stealing more than 1,000 brass vases and headstones from nine Chicago-area cemeteries. Also this month, about 150 bronze vases were reportedly stolen from a West Virginia cemetery. In addition, a man was arrested on charges of stealing 55 vases from grave sites in the Fort Myers, Fla. area."

recycle, recycle, recycle! I've been regaled at past family reunions about the story of one of my older brothers getting caught with his best friend, hiding in a freshly dug grave in the cemetary behind our old house 'reading' a Playboy...doesn't have anything to do with grave robbing, but what the hell, thought I'd share the memory!

Good thing these decorative grave items aren't made of copper, or else this would be an epidemic.

see what happens when you let the bums out. using bums for medical testing is good sense and a good use of resources. and keeps them from stealing.

"I can't think of anything lower," said David Evans, general manager for Valhalla Gardens of Memory in Belleville. "Nothing's worse than stealing from the dead." --------------------- Oh, really? So raping a two year old or ripping a fetus from a mother's womb isn't as bad a stealing a brass vase from a boneyard. And here I was thinking there were a LOT of things worse than pilfering metals from a cemetery to sell for scrap. Silly me and my priorities......

"Nothing's worse than stealing from the dead." This guy doesn't read the rotten news I take it. Someone send him the link. There are much much worse things.

So true traumaphiliac, when I'm dead take and use all my crap. I certainly won't be using it anymore. Stealing is not nice but the worst crime? Hardly. Who's got dibs on my Ronco salad shooter?

Ganjamax, this is Illinois were discussing here. The scrapyard is probably owned by Catholics. Most Jews like professions that make WAY more money and involve lots less dirt. Seriously, people, if you want to be proper racists, KNOW YOUR HATEE! Of course, with the level of intelligence you're working with, it might be impossible for you to understand that not EVERYONE who does an unpleasant thing is from some ethnic group you're supposed to hate. White people do just as many bad things as everyone else. I know that bursts your little supremacist bubble, but you'll get over it. Now, it's your turn to suck my ass.....I might be low on peanuts by now, but you'll be fine with just regular shit.
