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.

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.
