Thread: Grrrr. Tombstone theives!!!

Tweet

So 2 little punks were looking at our grave yard tonight, taking pictures, I even told them to come by Halloween night to see "everything". I look outside and see the 2 little pricks running off with our "Mary Shaw" tombstone, I gave chase in the car but lost them.
The thing that pissed me off the most was when I called dispatch for police I was rudly told by her "Sir! Do NOT chase them" I told her, "I have them in site, they have my stuff" she then told me "Sir, if you continue to chase I WILL hang up on you" I then told her go ahead and hung up on her.
Police arrived and took a report and are searching the area.

Me? I'm getting up early tomorrow and driving by the bus stops in our neigborhood to find the little bastards.


They're gonna need gravestones of their own soon.....

That really sucks.
Did you get the license plate number?

People always gotta ruin the holiday, you know?
That's why I'm so cautious about putting my stuff out.


But hey.
It must have been pretty good looking to steal a tombstone. O:

Man I hope you find them!!

Muf

They were on foor, they would have been on their backs had I caught them.

some kids ruin it for everybody else...I'd wait for them when they got off the schoolbus, snatch them up and take them to their parients..stuff like that makes me mad

Good Luck.
At Christmas time, I chased four 13 year olds, in my stocking feet, for knocking over my little blow molds, thus breaking the bulbs in them, I marched them back to the closest ones hous and had them call the other parents and meet us there and while I went home and put on dry socks, their parents ran around the neighborhood and righted all the things they knocked down etc, then the parents tried to get smart mouthed with me and say whats the big deal, we fixed everything, they don't need to get into trouble. I said I wanted all the kids names in case anything happened again so I knew where to point the cops at and the parents said they would not give me any information about their children. I said okay, and called the police and and pressed charges on them. They had to pay for a light bulb in my stuff plus a library book that my dog chewed up when I took off chasing them.

That totally sucks!!! Sorry this happened to you.

I'm just curious, do you have a fenced in graveyard? Or any kind of security, like signs that say the area is under surveillance or anything? I'm just curious because this is my worst fear and I'd like to know how vulnerable your display was.

Sorry to hear it...happened to us two years ago.

my biggest fear in life is getting my props or tombstones damaged or stolen. Sucks for me, but I bring everything in very night! about 20 props, and 45 tombstones. At least I can sleep at night...even thought i'm sore!!!

No fence, we live in apartment and our landlord is awesome enough to let us set up in the front.

Gonna go hunting tomorrow......
