Two women were arrested near a Redlands cemetery after allegedly stealing flowers, wind chimes and other decorations from grave sites over a span of several months, police said Tuesday.

Esha Sumaya Khondoker, 26, of Redlands, and Kulreet Nakai, 22, of Rancho Cucamonga, were stopped Monday night in their vehicle in the 1200 block of Olive Avenue, several blocks from the Hillside Memorial Park cemetery, Redlands police said.

Lt. Travis Martinez declined to provide details about the arrest, saying only that officers had received information “minutes prior” that “some property had been stolen” from the cemetery.

Really low.  :mental: :argh:

The grave gardeners usually sweep a cemetery once a week and dispose of flowers, containers, balloons etc. 

When I was a kid, my aunt would go visit graves and bring home potted plants she found tossed in the trash, give them a trim and bring them back to life.

It makes you wonder what happens to all the stuff left at those makeshift memorial sites.

Here we often have high winds.  :-)

One highway before it was expanded to four lanes that crossed over a mountain used to have more homemade cross memorials along the desert highway then cactus. It actually made you think and slow down.

Oooops.  I used to do that back when I was a little street urchin.  Would give them to my mother and the other ladies in the neighborhood (the ones who gave me cookies).  They had to know...
