Happened at Cemetery in Halma, also. A large blue Glass planter filled with pink geraniums is missing from a family grave. Return, no questions asked. Pretty low life to steal flowers from a cemetery.
Put an air tag in the pot…. Then you can track the location of the pot🙃
It has recently happened at the Holt cemetery too 😢
Put out a angel solar stick light on my parents graves last month and it’s gone.
