The TV news report sounded so absurd that I grabbed the DVR remote and rewound to hear it again.

"The cemetery says middle-age women are stealing flowers to make crafts," the anchor repeated.

It turns out that some plastic flowers have disappeared from Holy Sepulcher Cemetery in Cudahy. The culprits are crafters.

"They help themselves to the flowers they think we're throwing away," Butch Miller, director of cemetery operations at Holy Sepulcher, told me.

The cemetery will eventually steal the flowers and throw them away.  What's the difference?
