The little bronce cat on John's gravestone...

Candace is right, get the media involved. Tell whoever took it how much it means to you and that they can turn it in, no questions asked. How about if we take up a collection as a "reward" for the return of the kitty. Betcha that'll peak their attention.

I just don't understand people; if they would take 10 seconds to think about how THEY would feel if someone did it to them, none of this would happen.

Yes, call the media; let's see if a little exposure will shame the thief (or the recipient) into returning your property.

Fools.

Thank you everyone. I don't think I'll involve the media, they wouldn't consider it a big deal anyway. On tuesday, I'll go to the office and tell them. There has been things happening before - like gravestones being turned over, as Russian Blue mentioned. They have surveilance cameras, but I'm not sure they're on all the time and at all places. It's a huge cemetary.

Our friend John O'Neill, who made the gravestone and got the kitty, is used to work in cemetaries and may know better how to handle this. I'll try to get hold of him after monday.

The cat was screwed in to the stone, so it must have taken some time and effort to get it off.

I hope the person who did this will have some really bad luck!

Honestly, the things that people do. I just don't get it. Definitely report it to the cemetery office. I'm sorry this has happened.
