This crime is fairly common. I made a note from the Cleveland Plain Dealer last week about a guy caught "stealing 150 bronze vases from graves between March and June at the Brooklyn Heights Cemetery on Broadview Road in Cleveland. The vases were scrapped at Ohio Metal Recycling on Grand Avenue. Van Dyke pleaded guilty to theft and receiving stolen property. He was ordered to pay $31,500 in restitution to the cemetery." I figured on using it for some loser's back story.
