That is awful! We`ve had things stolen off of my grandparents` graves too, such as a German flag we bought once. It is so infuriating. Sorry that your log vase couldn`t be found. It is so sad that people are so cruel and can sink as low as to take gifts from mourning family members off of the graves of loved ones.

Donna, I'm so sorry this happened. It's outrageous! I simply don't understand anyone can violate a grave!!

I still feel sad about the bronce kitty missing, but have not been able to replace it yet. The ones I've seen so far aren't very nice, or have the wrong shape to fit.

I hope the caretakers will find out who it is and turn them over to the police!

I really know how you feel. The first Christmas after my Mom died in 2004 my Dad and I bought a beautiful silk arrangement to put on her grave. When I went back just a week later it was gone. I was told by some other people visiting there that it's very common for people to steal the items left at grave sites to sell at flea markets. GRRR!!!!

Now the latest thing to happen at that cemetery is thieves have stolen entire markers to sell for scrap metal. It happened a couple weeks ago and I just haven't felt like going to make sure Mom's is still there. I think that would wipe me out!

The markers at Rose Hill are flush in the ground. Some havetbuilt-in bronze vases. There were a rash of thieves that went around steeling the vases (including my grandparents marker). The Cemetery never replaced them.

Randi,

I hope you're able to replace John's kitty soon.
