A friend of mine passed this link on to me this morning because he was sure I’d want to blog about it. He was right! <\/p>\n
“The cemetery says middle-age women are stealing flowers to make crafts,” the anchor repeated.<\/p>\n
Move over, common everyday criminals. There’s a new breed of lawbreaker in town, and no final resting place is safe.<\/p>\n
It turns out that some plastic flowers have disappeared from Holy Sepulcher Cemetery in Cudahy. The culprits are crafters.<\/p>\n
“They help themselves to the flowers they think we’re throwing away,” Butch Miller, director of cemetery operations at Holy Sepulcher, told me.<\/p>\n
“I ask them, ‘Why would you want these flowers from a grave?’ They say, ‘Oh, we use them to make crafts and decorations.’ “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Wow…I mean, I’m thrifty but stealing plastic flowers and such from a cemetery? Even I have limits. What would possess someone to even consider taking them, even if they are meant for the garbage? It’s just kinda creepy and I’m someone who loves exploring cemeteries.<\/p>\n
