So on the news tonight I was reminded that this is, in fact, apparently still a thing.
Some degenerate fucks hit a 19th century graveyard in Worcester Massachusetts and actually stole bodies from a mausoleum. I live within driving distance of this place. Should I be worried that inbred Satanists are running around? I still can't wrap my head around WHY people steal dead bodies from cemeteries. Are they necrophiles or do they plan to sell them or some shit?
Also, share any of your own stories I guess.

well unfortunately, you're not in the ground so you have nothing to worry about you faggot

>Are they necrophiles or do they plan to sell them or some shit?
Nope. Many old corpses have gold fillings in teeth, jewelry, shit like that.

To some people, money is more sacred than shriveled-up corpses in the ground.

I always thought grave robbing would be fun. Here in Texas at least, there are tons of old cemeteries way out in BFE off old country roads no one uses. Show up near sun down, dig up a few graves from the 1850s or whatever and see if there's anything valuable. If the bodies are still there, which may or may not be the case. By the time anyone ever goes out there again it'll be 50 more years and the ground will look normal again.
Besides, what do some dead fucks need with their gold and silver anyway? If I get lucky and hit some bombass rings and fillings I won't even need to dig that many. If the graves are old enough it'll just be a few bones, I don't think those old coffins can last more than a few decades.

Saw this too.
Guy was a head priest practicing santaria sp?

This. Sounds like a bit of giggle to me, as long as you're targeting graves so old there's no chance that little Suzy will be going to see grampa and see what you did. Woe betide you, though, if you are caught.

Santeria.

I agree, as long as the graves are super old and family isn't around to be offended it could be a good time.
grave robbing is metal as fuck

My biggest concern would be getting caught by the police. I don't know what the punishment is for grave robbing, but I assume it's pretty serious. Plus I'd get treated like shit by everyone for being a fucking grave robber. I'd need to find a way to sell the gold, I feel like taking a tooth with a filling in it to a pawnshop would be frowned upon.
I'd also need to do research into any plots I intend to dig up. A lot of the small cemeteries around here are small, old family plots that probably were on some ranch property. There's a good chance remains were removed and brought to a regular cemetery as descendants sold land and moved closer to cities. It'd suck to spend 4 hours digging up a grave only to find there wasn't even a body there.
But those old cemeteries are always so interesting to visit. It links back area area to an earlier time and makes you wonder what life was like for the people buried below. Same goes for abandoned homes or barns as well I suppose. The physical links to the past are always much more interesting.

Do you know Steven West? Just curious since you live in that area?

I'm always surprised at least once a day here on /x/. Today it was people professing their excitement and justification for grave robbing.
Anyway if they took the whole bodies then yeah thats pretty weird. People want to steal skulls all the time just to keep though, its a big problem in the Paris catacomb tours.
We had a lot of defacing incidents awhile back, spray painting and even smashing headstones with hammers, which is about as big of a faggot as you can be.
You sure showed that guy who died in 1905 who's the real badass now.
