Gravesite thefts

Several people have contacted the Standard through email and even through this blog there has been a comment about how the thefts of flowers and items left at graves is nothing new. How big of a problem is this? And is this only a big deal at a couple cemeteries or is this a common thing at all of them? Should the Standard do a follow-up and put pressure on local authorities? Since most graveyards aren't part of the nearby church is there anyway to enforce better surveillance?

We live in Guthrie and when we place flowers and items on graves here they aren't usually there when we go back. Our cemetery is on a hill, though, and it DOES get pretty windy there at times and then they have to mow and if the flowers get blown down they may cut them up or not know where they belong and just throw them away.
