Spitting feathers!!

How low can you sink. There are some people who seem to have absolutely no understanding of the feelings of others, and I can only imagine how frustrating and upsetting this is for you. The idea of having something in your own garden seems a good thing to do - perhaps plant something for him and then you could put your Christmas wreath and any other seasonal items there, and be able to see them more often. Try to forget the nasty creatures who do this kind of thing - they are not worth thinking about.

Most definitely henetha.

Is cctv an option? Its coming to something when you have to protect a place where people are supposed to be resting in peace. Absolutely foul!

There really are some low-life humans amongst us, aren't there.

I think it's disgusting I know my dad was worried that the silk flowers we had left on my mum's grave might disappear he shouldn't have to think of that. They are just evil hope they get their come uperance low llife and no respect. We don't have that person with us anymore so these little gifts are our way of coping

Its such a mindless thing to do!

A couple of days after my father's funeral in 1986 we visited the grave to find several wreaths etc had been taken, including the one from her and the one from my children. The cards were thrown on the floor. When she reported it she was told it happened quite often. My mother always reckoned it was a local florist, but it could equally have been people too mean to buy their own flowers for a funeral.

This is not uncommon, my grandson is buried in the baby garden at our local cemetery. My daughter and I go every week and there is always something missing or been broken on his or one of the other graves close by. A couple of months ago the whole garden had toys, flowers and ornaments removed and scattered around.

That's pretty low. With some things you can tell yourself that maybe the thief was desperate, but not for graveside theft.

We just have to accept that there is low life out there who have no respect for others, who will steal just for the sake of it regardless of the pain it causes. Keep your own little tribute in the security of your own garden.

Takes a pretty twisted mind to do this.

It's unbelievable how thoughtless some people are unfortunately it's just done for a laugh .

This is disgusting. I would feel like actually planting something if it's possible, instead of a removable pot. With a small note such as, "These are poisonous" or would the council ask to you remove it? Disgusting creeps.

Trust no one seems to be the message.

And a very merry Christmas and a 'may Father Christmas give them what they deserve' to those who steal from graves.

Its really disgusting! What on earth is the point of stealing those kind of things unless its just sheer meanness?

That is maddening and shows how low some people can sink. Sadly nothing seems sacred these days. Perhaps it would be less stressful just to keep the grave tidy and remember your father some other way, perhaps flowers in the church or a donation to his local charity.

Good grief. What sort of person steals off a grave?

That would make me mad too. It isn’t the local authority ‘tidying up’ by any chance? Some oiks can be a bit fussy in interpreting the rules. Sorry this has been so enfuriating.

Oh I do not blame you - what a dreadful things to do!
