New Canada crime unlocked: grave-robbing

[ChevChelios]

It never occurred to me before that one marker of a high-trust society is unsecured graves:

On Nov. 17, 2025, the same day the Mori family reported the missing items from Highland Memory Gardens in North York, Halton police held a news conference detailing a string of thefts at eight cemeteries across the Toronto, Halton and Niagara region.

Officers had arrested a 45-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman, both of no fixed address, at a Niagara Falls motel on Nov. 7, they reported. A search of the motel and a vehicle led to the recovery of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and stolen items.

Considering the current demographic transformation of Niagara Falls, I wouldn't be surprised if this were to be another imported cultural practice, especially considering the fact that the suspects weren't named.

This isn't new at all, plus just about everything metal in a cemetery is stolen for scrap.

You may be right, but it's the first I've heard of it happening in such a systematic manner (at least since bodies were being exhumed to be sold to medical schools in the 1700s)

Well when you stop punishing peoples for committing crimes for some reason crimes go up, maybe someday someone will figure out what the connection is.
