Well someone once tried to steal the Body of Lincoln:
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Grave robbers unearthed the remains of former Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos and stole his body by night from a suburban graveyard, Cyprus police said Friday, a day before the first anniversary of the statesman's death.
"The grave of the former president has been violated and the body robbed. We are still investigating", said police spokesman Michalis Katsounotos.Investigators believe the body was taken either late Thursday night or early Friday morning. The motive is unclear. Grave-robbing is rare in Cyprus.
Mounds of freshly dug-up earth lay at the site of the robbery in the Deftera village cemetery in a southwestern suburb of the Cypriot capital, Nicosia. Police investigators cordoned off the area and were searching the site.
Cyprus has been bitterly divided between Greeks and Turks especially after a pro-Greek coup led to a Turkish invasion. Whether this is political, a prank, a plain old crime, remains to be seen.
