A man in Ukraine has found an unconventional way to save money on the construction of his house, deciding a cemetery was a perfect source for cost-free building materials.
The enterprising vandal was caught red-handed when police found 38 gravestones on his land in Crimea’s largest city of Simferopol.
The search for the missing marble headstones was launched in 2009 after law enforcement officers received a number of complaints concerning thefts from a local burial ground.
Apart from the main perpetrator, police also managed to catch his two accomplices.
It is still being determined how many gravestones were stolen from the cemetery.

UK Digital Bill to kill file sharing?Going behind bars for file sharing? Chances are high that a new Digital Bill aimed at developing digital technologies in the UK might seriously damage the industry if it becomes law. |
Good use for them! Mark Twain hated cemetaries....he thought them unhealthy and that people should be cremated! I quite agree. This is all in "Life on the Mississippi" in case anyone is interestsed.
I have been to I have been to Ukraine at least 8 or 9 times, both free-lancing it and also with other agencies. None came close to the scveire and value provided by Mordinsons. As far as the apartments, I have never stayed in such a nice place in Ukraine! No hotel has even come close for comfort and cleanliness! Privacy, convenient location it has it all. Even a bakery next door, and a restaurant, lounge, and coffee shop all in a secure area.
