NEWHALL (CBS) — Los Angeles County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the theft of more than 100 bronze vases from gravesites at a local cemetery.

According to authorities, at least 113 bronze flower vases, which were attached to headstones, have been stolen in July at Eternal Valley Memorial Park & Mortuary in Newhall. In the first reported theft, 100 vases were stolen on July 18. The second theft occurred on July 25 where between 13 and 15 vases were taken.

The vases have retail value of $125 each or more, bringing the total theft to at least $14, 125.

The thefts were the latest in a series of valuable metal thefts in the Santa Clarita Valley. In June, authorities say thieves stole a brass train whistle from the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society’s steam locomotive at William S. Hart Park. In addition, more than a dozen reports have been filed at the local Sheriff’s Station in the last few weeks by car owners reporting catalytic converters stolen from their vehicles.

Anyone with information regarding any of the thefts is urges to call Los Angeles County Sheriff’s detects at (661) 255-1121.

Sorry but I can’t remember an economic situation so poor where people were routinely steeling base metals to recycle and make a few dollars. AC units, Copper wire and plumbing from vacant homes.

Oh yeah, sorry I forget we’re in a recovery…..recovery summer….yeah that’s the ticket.

You forget that the ones doing the majority of the stealing are the same ones that are killing Californias Economy, Thank You Mexico.

I hope they are checking the people who would be buying metals even if the bronze, copper etc has been melted down. Can;t be many places to dispose of the stuff!

Sure they did. Is “thieves” code for criminals with badges trying to cover up the real story?

A military Coup took place with the introduction of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate.

Obama is not the president, he’s the acting president. He disappeared for 2 weeks after his election win only to reappear looking exhausted sitting next to John McCain, with a bad poker face, for a press photo shoot. He has been turned into a Pentagon puppet ever since.

What you’re about to learn is true and not embellished in anyway. Here’s what Obama, Osama, Biden, Bin Laden, the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists, and Sarah Palin have to do with the last election and the military’s overthrow of our government.

I had one of my spec homes stripped of copper plumbing and wire. Leaving behind more than $15,000. in damage for a few hundred dollars

Yes it was the local MBA students looking to buy books…No it was the illegals ! Many who have turned to stealing metals to sell to recycle centers, after the construction jobs have disappeared
.
Of course the cops are to lazy or burdened go to the buyer. Nope they to busy collecting traffic fines all day .

Go to any recycle center and watch the trucks pull up and all the home wire and copper pipes falling out the back. No question asked.

This trend of stealing copper and other metals is sweeping through the country and success will only bred more acts of vandalism and theft..

Illegals from Mexico have to make a living when there are no crops to pick. This is just another job Americans won’t do.

Been reading Kafka, have we?

Aaron

Not Kafka. This suggestion is way too swift, clear, and tied to reality to be Kafkaesque. “Biblical” would be a more appropriate descriptor, as interpreted by the Medieval mind…

Rick Swartzentrover

Well we can’t all be Neanderthal like you. What would you do to them, Give then an award for being immoral like all liberals are? BTW Biblical is only a putdown to God- hating mindless bigots who’s faith is to impotent to believe in anyone other then themselves. Don’t worry some day (just like your tiny manhood) it will grow and you can join the Human Race.

Really people , the home of the new brave now reduced to illegals stealing the bronze out of a cemetery ! What’s next, having graves dug up for estate jewelry.

This is our country. Stop letting the elite teaching you that it belongs to the world and we are only time share tenants in our own homes.
Joe Schmoe

But Rick, what about their “Civil Rights”? I can hear the radical left wing advocates now.
Joe Schmoe

Time to start controlling the metal buyers.
John

Digging up graves IS the next “logical” step. I saw it in the Caribbean where the “locals” have broken open above-ground graves to try and find/steal any jewelry from the long-dead European settlers from many, many years ago….leaving caskets broken and lying around in the cemeteries. It was very disturbing to see. Same with the illegals in the USA. They have no real connection to the culture or the people, so they will take anything that is, or is not, bolted down. That is the reality.

Have these people doing this crime have no shame?
