hello grumps here
now i know i said yesterday that friday,s column was the last one of the week
but i found this in the sheffield star and found it so replusive and diabolical i had to share it with you gentle people here at the FG.
A HEARTLESS thief stole flowers laid by grieving loved ones at a Sheffield cemetery to sell them to revellers in city centre pubs.
Dundar Akyar, aged 47, who failed to show up for his trial at Sheffield Magistrates' Court, was convicted in his absence of stealing roses from City Road Cemetery.
His crime was today condemned as "despicable" by Sheffield Council Labour group leader Coun Jan Wilson, whose ward includes the cemetery.
She said: "This man deserves everything that's coming to him. Nothing could be more serious than people having flowers stolen from their loved ones' graves."
The court heard the shameless thief - who hawks flowers and plastic cowboy hats around pubs in the city centre - pinched the blooms to sell them.
The Star reported a year ago that grieving relatives were being warned not to lay flowers at City Road Cemetery in case they were stolen. Police even suggested mourners cut stalks off flowers they did take to the graveyard, so the blooms could not be made up into fresh bunches and sold.
After months of thefts from the site, Akyar was arrested at the end of July this year - and cemetery caretaker Victor Ellis told The Star that, since then, the crimes have stopped.
Mr Ellis, 60, caretaker at the cemetery for the last 45 years, spotted Akyar when he was out walking a friend's dogs early one morning.
"It was about 5am, and I knew he was up to no good," Mr Ellis said.
"We've often had a problem with pilfering from the site. As we don't even open until 8am I knew what he was doing wasn't right.
"He was holding a black bin liner and a plastic bag, and when he saw me he made a point of saying into his mobile phone that he was going to put some roses on a grave - but it was five in the morning."
Mr Ellis went back to his home on nearby Harwich Road and watched Akyar from his upstairs window.
"I could see him walking between the graves and looking around to see if anyone was watching," he said. "He kept bending down and putting things in his bag."
PCs Jessica Womersley and Martin Simcock told magistrates they tracked Akyar by following wet footprints leading from the graveyard after Mr Ellis called them to the scene.
They found him waiting for a bus at Manor Park Centre, and arrested him when they found 50 fresh roses in his plastic bag. A further search revealed a small bereavement card to 'David' with the message: "With love, remembering you today and always."
The officers said they were unable to trace the people who had left the card and flowers. Last year sobbing relatives pleaded with Sheffield councillors in a meeting to improve security at City Road after flowers were stolen from their loved ones' graves.
Claire Jackson, prosecuting, said Akyar - who lives in a hostel on Beighton Road, Sheffield - told police he had never been to the cemetery, and did not even know where it was.

this scum bag is a kosovan too a by product of tony blairs euro superstate
he needs to be found and locked up in prison for his crime and then taken to dover and deported to france .
we must not pussyfoot around listening to the do gooders that will claim hardship if he is returned to kosovo.
what amazes me is that the police after arresting him LET HIM GO ON BAIL !!!
is this because he is a kosovan and the police are frightend of the human rights beard and sandalls brigade kicking up because he is a foreign national or do they answer to their political master in number 10 or the smiling viper in brussels ?
that foreign nationals should not be detained too long in case it breaches their human rights or they play the racial prejudice card.
i suppose that he wont be found untill he does it somewhere else then justice will finally catch up with akyar.
because the police are not going to make any effort to find him so the sentence is just a joke yet you commit a traffic fixed penalty offence and be a white british citizen and the full magnitude of the law will be down on you .
no wonder people are turning to the BNP to sort the country out.

This kind of theft from Graveyards has been going on for years. In the churchyard where my Parents and baby are buried, they even had to go as far as having private security in there at night as there was so much of this going on. On two occassions, my parents graves were robbed and It is truely callous and heartbreaking. Unfortunately, the law is this case is no more than common theft in the eyes of the law but I hope the nature of the theft will sway the magistrates to do their utmost.
