Sorry about this but I need to get this out of my system.
Yesterday was fathers day so I went to the cemetery as my dad passed away 2 1/2 years ago (he was cremated). So where he lays at rest we have a plaque as does my nan and granddad. I noticed that they were missing so I informed my mum. I have found out that someone has stolen them so they can be melted down as they are made from brass.
I can't get my head round the fact that someone can do such a thing like steal from the dead like that just so they can get some money from it. I don't understand it boggles the mind and it really upsets me that someone could do such a thing.
I feel violated that my family that have passed away are not away from the cruel world of today and the stupid,horrible acts that human beings are capable of doing.

I just needed to get this out of my system

hi, i used to leave plastic flowers at an accident site and they were constantly being stolen or vandalised until i gave up and just didn't try anymore. i know for me it hurt tremendously and was very distressing and just tore away my faith in humanity. i'm not sure if that's how you feel. just wanted to let you know that i hear you and yeah it is a super low thing for them to have done. you and your dad don't deserve that.

SORRY ABOUT THE PLAQUES. People will do anything now. Its not like it used to be where you could leave things and they would stay. Maybe you can find something else that is worth something to you, but not to the idiots out there!!!

Thank you for all the support that you have given.
I'm not sure what this world is coming to, we are able to replace them but they will take time to replace them as they need to be remade and everything.

You should also take this up with the cemetery this is not acceptable, they should have some sort of plan in place to prevent this from happening.

Haha. I agree.
Those kinds of things are complete and utter bullsh*t.
A family member of mine recently passed away. Other part of my family spent a pretty penny on a lovely wreath to go on her grave.
Someone else (in the family, mind you. Just to make it worse) came by, picked off all the flowers and dove sculptures and just gave them to her kids to have and play with.

If I'd have been there at that time, we'd have been attending another funeral.

That's not fair. People should have more respect than that. Thinking of you!
