Grave robbers!

My younger brother passed away in 2012

On his plot, we put 2 granite pots either side of his stone

This morning I have visited the cemetery (as I do every sunday)

And the pots have gone!

I have spoken to the cemetery manager (who lives on site)

He has informed me that there has been a spate of thefts recently

In particular many children's or babies plots have been tajej from also (Teddy bears, plaques etc)

I am now desperately trying to find 4 identical pots with 4 identical plants to replace them, before my mother visits next week, obviously I don't want to see her upset.

There are some vile scumbags on this earth and I sincerely hope that karma bites them in the arse!!!!

Rant over

The depths that some scum of society go to these days is unfortunately not shocking anymore.

Sad to hear this OP

I'm sorry that happened, it doesn't surprise me unfortunately.

I've seen so many things taken from my mum and dad's grave. My siblings do their best to keep it looking vibrant and beautiful, but they are always telling me how things disappear.

I remember one time I filled a glass jar with seashells and sentimental local trinkets from where my dad was born and the next day they were gone. Worthless to anyone else, but something meaningful I put a lot of thought into for my dad's resting place.

Some people are nothing but scum. I hope you manage to find some new pots. Maybe see if there is a way you could anchor then down to make them difficult to remove? It's a faff I know but could be worth doing.

I wouldn't say it was kids. There use to be people going around my way stealing pots to sell.

Another guy was stealing the aluminium flower holders from inside the pots and selling them for scrap. He was last seen with a sack over his shoulder heading towards the scrap yard. Not long after that he died of natural causes and was buried in the same cemetery.

Sorry to hear what happened OP. I hope you replace them soon.

Would it be easier to have the pots in your garden where they're safe? Maybe say the originals were blown over and broken.

Sorry to read this OP these people really are the disgusting.It seems that in the living years we work hard to have something nice whether it’s a house , car , holiday and when out times come we can’t even have a vase with some flowers in it.

On my dad's grave was a rabbit, a calf, milk churn and a solar light. The light and the rabbit was taken. Managed to get a replacement rabbit and light. Mum noticed the rabbit was a bit cleaner than before. So I told her she was ok

There are fairly frequent reports on our local news that this is happening. Children's and babie's graves seem to be targeted most often.

Sorry op, no advice to give you, but that angers me too.

Sometimes a little white lie is justified.in this case to your mum.

Remove the others saying one got broken so you are going to redo with some stronger, heavier and cemented down.

You shouldn't need to but sometimes these things unfortunately happen.

We had a spate of thefts from graves in the town we lived in a few years back.

Mainly children's cuddly toys.

It was only when someone staked out the grave yard that they found the culprits.

It was young foxes.

This happened on my dad's grave 20 years ago. It was a heavy marble vase with the family name engraved on it so completely useless to someone of a different name. It was never found to this day.

Thanks for all your kind words

Thankfully found some the same at my local garden centre. I never realised how expensive they were, and can see why they was targeted (£90 each!)

Just need to get similar plants for them now and hopefully mom won't notice a difference (fingers crossed)

I have taken the advice of an above poster, and decided to have a hole put into the bottom of each and bolt them to the slabs

It is absolutely amazing the lengths that these thieving scumbags will go to.

My sister is scouring social media selling pages to see if she can spot them for sale

Hopefully we catch them, but I'm not holding my breath

Maybe get the police marker pens and put the graveyard details on the bottom of them?

The aluminium flower holders been taken for many years. Scrap yards shouldn’t accept them really.
