TEMPLE (March 18, 2010)-- William Wolfe, 43, of San Antonio and Russell Wolfe, 45, of Houston, were in the Bell County Jail Thursday after officers searched a suspicious vehicle and discovered duffle bags filled with bronze vases stolen from Bellwood Cemetery in Temple.
A Temple officer spotted the Jeep Cherokee leaving the cemetery at around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday at 8575 Airport Road.
Officers conducted a traffic stop and determined the driver’s license was suspended and that the vehicle was uninsured.
A search turned up the vases, which police said had been stolen from grave markers at the cemetery, probably for the copper content.
The Bell County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the case Thursday.
Each man was ordered held in lieu of $25,000 bond.

Does anyone out there know what's happened with these Losers?
This is about as low as people can go. I lost my mother in February and I had an arrangement of silk flowers made to leave at the grave. About a week later when we went to visit the grave, the flowers were gone and 2 of the wires we put deep in the soil to keep them from blowing away were there and had been untied from the arrangement, the other 2 were missing. It's bad enough to be greiveing but to then to find that someone would steal flowers from the grave. No resale on those. I believe there will be a sepcial place in hell for someone who would stoop so low. This was from a small rural Cemeter in Hill, County.
My sister and I checked our parents gravesites. Luckily they were undisturbed as well as her husbands and our family friends.
