They say you can't take it with you, but that doesn't stop people from trying. Plenty of people decide to be buried with jewelry, fancy suits--heck, even money. Then we stick them in the ground, of which we have a limited supply of.
My question is, where's the crime in digging it up? It's not like they are going to use it. Certainly the new owners will get more satisfaction out of it. If they can do it with the musty old tombs of ancient pharoahs, why not the day old grave of a rich person?
Is it the history? Once you become really historical then we have an obligation to "liberate" your wealth? What if the person was really famous, like Einstein? Maybe we only have to wait a decade or two then?
I suppose it's like a relationship gone sour. You have to honor their memory for a sufficiently long time before you can get it on with that really hot person you know from the gym.
Any thoughts? (I'm not a grave robber, nor am I endorsing it... am I? No.)
