Grave Robbing

Today I read an article by Jim Adams on startribune.com.  This article was about a grave robbing that happened late sunday night in a Wisconsin Cemetary.  A baby that was buried in 1925 was stolen from Pioneer Rest Cemetary in the middle of the night.  Police and locals believe that this grave robbing was a halloween prank that went too far.  The robbers left behind pieces of wood from the coffin, dirt that was dug from the grave, and the tombstone that read, "Baby Locke."  I'm stunned that someone would do something like this to a family.  I find it rude and reckless to dig someone's body up and have no purpose for it.  I'm also wondering why they chose a babies remains from 1925.  I hope they catch the hooligans that did this and the baby can be returned to its original grave that it was placed in, in 1925.
