Hey everyone-
This particular article appeared in the Indianapolis Star of July 4, 2006.
I am sending it to the list as a reminder to others that when visiting these
cemeteries, please leave everything there that you find.
I realize that nobody would intentionally steal from a grave for a
collectible as this woman appears to have.but I also know that sometimes
It might be tempting to carry home something else..
A 43-year-old woman pleaded not guilty to a felony theft charge this week
after police arrested her for stealing small stuffed animals from a grave in
southern Indiana.
Police said Lucinda J. Jacobs stole two Beanie Babies from St. Matthew's
Cemetery in Posey County, about 20 miles west of Evansville along the Ohio
River.
The grave site was under police surveillance after authorities received
complaints about items that were missing from the cemetery's gravesites.
Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat said officers videotaped Jacobs
Saturday as she took the small, collectable stuffed animals. The toys were
later found inside the woman's car.
Jacobs was released on $5,000 bond.

If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and
all generations of your ancestors. All
of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the
continuation.
