*sigh* Being a "ghost hunter", I must state that cemetery vandalism is QUITE common - we see evidence of it ALL the time. Why? Cemeteries are frequently used by teens as places to party and get drunk. Some are also used by cults for rituals. I've no idea what the thrill is in defacing graves, but some people really seem to get a kick out of it. Pisses me off.

Probably the WORST case of a vandalized cemetery has got to be the infamous Bachelors Grove Cemetery near Chicago’s south side...

I've been there 2 times doing paranormal investigations and filming a documentary. At one point there were over 100 marked plots in the cemetery I'm told. Today there are only a dozen or so markers left (the rest have been stolen or cast into the small lagoon adjacent to the cemetery) and only the largest of the monuments are still standing. There has also been evidence of graves being opened here and the remains stolen. How sick is THAT?

Look on my site here to see a few 360 degree panoramas of the cemetery and see just how bad of shape its in...
