Cemeteries are places of calm and remembrance. They are deliberately kept simple and beautiful with flowers and mementos of loved ones who are gone but not forgotten. Above all, they are places that command respect. Or at least they should be.
Unfortunately, cemeteries have also long been easy targets for thieves who only see in them opportunity for gain. Around the world, many graves of famous people have been looted for priceless archaeological artifacts. In the 19th century, corpse robbers would unearth bodies in the middle of the night to sell them to medical doctors for dissection cadavers. And more recently, an Ohio cemetery seemed to have become a free flower shop for two twisted thieves.
