PORTLAND, Maine — Police in the city of Portland are investigating the theft of 60 bronze memorial vases from city cemetery.
Police say the vases — worth a total of about $12,000 — were taken sometime between Wednesday of last week and Monday from the Brooklawn Memorial Cemetery on Congress Street.
Each vase weighs about 10 pounds and is unique in shape.
Police are hoping to track down the thieves and recover the vases.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call the Portland Police Department at 207-874-8533.



How low can you go?
$12,000 will buy lots of drugs in our culture ridden drug society.
like a plague sweeping across the land of Maine, the opiate zombies come. I got burglarized for the first time ever about 2 weeks ago.
i have that major security company,plus my cell phone calls me with video immediately, every time one of my doors or windows open.
If you cant afford all that, $15-20 a month for this:

Thanks for that info.
Ghouls!
And I suppose the local scrap yards will look the other way when the thieves cash in this “scrap”.
