mean I see so many memorial signs that say "don't steal flowers". Do people have no conscience or no soul?
And what do they do with the flowers? Take them home or put it on a friend's grave? I've also heard its used for "black art?"

Is there any wive's tale or superstition if you do take the flowers that are not yours?

Illyanna: You are honest, great, however those plants were NOT intended for you.

I assure you that is below low. Someone who has no compassion for life, is bitter, angry and possibly a juvenile
is responsible. I assure you God has not turned his eyes or head on this...they will pay for stealing flowers from graves. The price will be quite high.

the black art?? LMAO, oh that's a good one.
umm no. there is no such thing as the black art, unless you are talking about the fine arts of the African-American society.
I'll be honest here. I've stolen flowers from a graveyard. What good are flowers for in a graveyard? They are not potted in the ground for beautification, if they are potted, no one takes care of them. They don't get watered, they don't get pruned, they don't get protected from the elements. Sometimes they are even cut flowers that will wilt in a matter of hours and be dead in a matter of days. Seriously, what is the point of taking the deceased and buried flowers. Isn't it more of an insult than a compliment?
If you are going to leave beautiful good looking and alive flowers out in the open, do something constructive with them. Or else face the fact that you just spent a few bucks to 20 bucks on a bouquet for no other reason than to be self centered.
No one can expect the groundskeeper to water a random walmart plant on every grave, why then are you shocked that someone else can take it and give it a good home?
Addition, great thanks for the honesty points, as rebuttal...yes, I know they were not intended for me. I accept that and can live with the consequences. Now let me ask you, why is it a big deal that you spent some money for flowers for a dead person who will never appreciate them in the spirit in which they were intended? Are you that selfish and self centered to believe that these living organisms "belong" to you?

particular regrettably they do. a miles off elderly cousin of mine places flowers weekly on her husband and sons graves in basic terms to locate them stolen on many events. as quickly as she have been given so mad she took out an upload interior the close by paper sounding off and the flowers have been back yet regrettably many circumstances they are taken and not in any respect back.

Stake out a graveyard and catch them in the act and ask Why? Before calling the cops!
My opinion is they are penny pinching cheap and have no morals. They probably raid thy neighbors garbage cans to sell items on Ebay too!
