Hi - heard it all! Tombstones don't 'stray' - they get stolen. My cousin's great-grandparents stones were stolen: another cousin knew by whom. Stones were used as decorations in the jerk's (thief's) garden. Now, that is creepy! My cousin notified the sheriff - the stones were retrieved - the thief was hauled into court, fined, and had to also pay for cost of placing the stones back in the cemetery. This happened in a very small town, so there went whatever reputation the thief had in the first place - it's in the toilet now! It takes a real special SOB to steal tombstones!
