Police Say Man Stole From Graveyards Wednesday, February 8, 2006 ANGOLA, Ind. - A man allegedly found with about 80 items taken from local graveyards in his apartment has been charged with six counts of theft, police said. Police found the items in the home of Gregory Allen Shipe, 21, of Ashley. They include colorful porcelain crosses, ceramic figures, lanterns and an elephant statue. Steuben County police were asking people to identify the items so they could be returned to the gravesites in Steuben and DeKalb counties in northeastern Indiana. So far, at least 10 items have been returned, said Steuben County sheriff's Detective John Rowe. Shipe was arrested Friday and was being held at the Steuben County Jail Wednesday on $20,000 bond. His next court date is March 6. Shipe's brother told police that he had seen about 100 items at Shipe's apartment. Shipe's wife said her husband told her the decorations came from a junk yard. Shipe told police Friday that he and two other men took the items from four cemeteries Jan. 30. --- Information from: The Journal Gazette, http://www.journalgazette.net
