    Default A query

    Under what circumstances would you engage in graverobbing? Discuss.

    It would have to be a serious family heirloom for me, but I would probably feel really guilty. But then there's the whole "you can't take it with you" thing, too, so I dunno.

    If a parrot swallowed my Jerry Lewis cuff links, I wouldn't think twice about digging the bird up.

    If I'm being haunted by their ghost and needed to salt and burn the body.

    a few ten thousand dollars worth of treasure would be sufficient.

    maybe not in a totally fresh grave, though. A hundred years old? sure.

    Unless I'm getting paid, laid, or one of my games end up buried with them somehow I'm not going anywhere near a corpse.

    tbh, there's nothing I'd dig up and take from someone's grave.

    If they were buried with it, they probably wanted it that way. #respekt and all that.

    My mom wanted to be cremated /buried with her music box her dad gave her a very long time ago, but my dad kept it and has it beside her urn.

    Just like me- I want to be buried with my teddy bear and I'd be quite upset if someone were to take it.

    I haven't done this for a few years now but I had a few good finds

    - Gold bracelet
    - A selection of sovereign rings
    - A pool cue with case
    - A harmonica
    - A copy of Nicolas Nickleby by Charles Dickens
    - A couple of nice-ish watches

    I blame my friends when I was younger for leading me astray. Obviously I would never do this now.

    So long as someone else is doing all the actual labor and work then I'm good.

    The superstitious hillbilly in me is aghast at the mere thought.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    It'd have to be totally worth it. And by worth it I mean yes I'd do it for anything.
