more metal theft

This time from a local cemetary. Had to admit I laughed when I read it, though from the sound of it whomever did the deed made off with a tidy sum.

It's much more common that you can possibly imagine. A bronze vase masses between 3 and 5 kg depending on design and sells as scrap for $20-$35.00

The replacement vase WHOLESALE costs $75-$135.00

If the cemetery turns it into insurance you will help pay for it with higher rates. If they eat the cost it means they can not do other things with their capital funds and that cuts into bussiness all across the board.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
