"Montgomery, Alabama Advertiser"
The title catches our eye with its large print meant to capture our attention and gain our interest. Sadly, the subject is one many of us already know about first hand.
It resonates with us. It encourages us to spend more time learning how others with the same or similar problems have adopted measures that have helped to resolve them.
The reports of thefts reflect on the real 'sense of violation' that overwhelms those who visit the gravesites of their loved ones and friends only to see their flowers thrown out early or momentos broken or missing.

Extending congratulations to the cemeteries that have reduced the occurrences of thefts and vandalism. We need to read more of their stories!
Let's take the time to read and learn from those who have taken the necessary steps and implemented them.
More cemeteries and gravesites will remain peaceful resting places if we follow the lead of others who have found ways to reduce thefts and vandalism.
