DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) - Authorities have charged a 29-year-old man
with stealing more than 100 urns from a west Florida cemetery and
selling them to a recycling company.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office says William B. Moncalieri
of Palm Harbor stole 15 to 20 urns at a time from a Dunedin
cemetery at night.
In August, several cemetery visitors came forward to report the
missing urns, where flowers are placed. They turned up at a
Clearwater recycling company later that month.
Deputies say Moncalieri, a former employee of the cemetery, had
sold the urns for $1.40 a pound, making more than $1,000. He was
arrested on Monday at this home.

haha rose, pretty funny

wonder if he had a green card.

Now 10 hours a day for maybe 6 months to a year cleaning off and around all the graves in the cemetary seems to be called for and then back to the pokey at night.

stealing from the dead.  how sad, but it happens.  they steal flowers off graves all the time because they don’t want to buy their own.

Are you saying that if he didn’t get caught this type of behaviour is acceptable?

What an idiot to think they wouldn’t catch him. I mean jeewiz it was a former employeer.  How stupid can people be?
