When will it end? Two Pottstown borough men are in the Montgomery County jail after being arrested Wednesday for stealing 200 bronze flower vases from Highland Memorial Cemetery. You read that correctly, a cemetery! These two upstanding citizens were stealing from the dead. They were taking their ill-gotten gain to a Philadelphia scrap yard to sell. The vases were valued at more than $20,000. The thefts took place during March of 2011.
In the not too distant past borough churches were stripped of copper gutters and spouting by thieves. It never ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go to in trying to make a fast buck.
Two Roy’s Rants thumbs down to these alleged criminals. Thrown the book at them!
