Shocking news. Hopefully the culprits can be found and punished.

And when they're caught I hope the scum get sent to Saughton.
Here's hoping anyway.

Why would anyone steal from here?

Just a thought, do we have and images of the stolen plaques we could pass to the Daily Record? Perhaps they could print the photos to help find them.

It states granite stones bearing the names. I know it may not be the whole area but Dereks pics don't appear to show 'stones'.
Adam is right, pity we didn't have pics of them all and try and find out which ones were stolen.
I know its shocking but, believe, me nothing is sacred anymore. (to some I should say)

Maybe those involved are thinking that one day these will be as valuable as DMP's nicked from gravestones? Rolling Eyes
