I've couldn't agree more. That thing would be gone quick. From crack heads to high school kids someone is going to get it.
Grave robbing/ coffin resale is BIG business. In the small rural town I grew up in the county coroner and the funeral home director/undertaker were all the same person. Oddly enough a huge Lurch looking guy - his name was Duncan . He had plenty of tales of people grave robbing and or showing up to the funeral home with their own casket for a loved ones burial.
He told me and my dad on a few occasions about a family from about 30 miles East whose main hustle was grave robbing. Taking what ever trinkets/jewelry good teeth and then selling the 3-6 thousand dollar casket for a couple hundred dollars- usually to a funeral home.
Years later in out of the Corps, remodeling my first house working weekends at a rough neck biker bar , a co worker who is become friends with bad the same last name and was from the town of the grave robbing family I’d been told about as a boy. So one day I asked him about it - AND yep his father and oldest brother had actually done time in 3. States for exactly that crime . My buddy went on to tell me that although having nothing to do with his father and oldest half brother when he graduated high school his father had given him a Pill bottle full of gold teeth. He refused to take it - so his father gave him a gun instead - which turned out to be stolen.
Not to cut my rant short but it is amazing how some could grow up in a house full of scum and thrives and turn out alright. And my buddy is a damn good guy. Raised his kids - Ada opted a few . Always has at least two jobs . Anyhow I’ve known him long enough and well enough he had an emergency key to my house until he moved away. Good solid guy , smart , intact moral compass and always eager to help.
But grave robbery- fuck!
