CONCERNING the report headlined 'Graveyard wrecking spree' (Bolton Evening News: December 23).

I and my family have been a victim of this sort of thing, but, to start with, where is the deterrent to stop it all?

As you know, in the Bolton Evening News during 1998 there have been reports of several attacks on these sacred grounds in and around Bolton.

The last item made no mention of the police - oh, sorry, they're too busy picking on us motorists at this particular time of the year, aren't they!

The only way to get to the bottom of all this destruction is to uphold a substantial reward. Bring the culprits to justice. Nothing at all seems to be getting done. Just watch out in the Bolton Evening News and read about yet another graveyard attack.

To me, the folk who do things like that in the graveyard aren't human. They're no good to society. They're just cowards picking on the dead and their grieving relatives.

If the council, police or government can't do nothing about it, so be it - the letters RIP should not exist any more.

In my eyes, it won't be long before these sort of cowards will actually be digging up the corpses. I wonder if anything will then be done about these sickening vandals. Just how far can all this go, bringing misery to us proper people?
