Mysterious Grave Robber Steals Ashes from Urns

Every August, millions of Japanese go to their ancestors' graves in honor of the obon holiday, when spirits of the dead are said to come back to earth. It's also one of three major stretches where the whole country goes on vacation (the other two: Golden Week and New Years). This year, dozens of families were horrified to find that someone had stolen urns from under the gravestone. The victims were all women, and some of the urns had been replaced with ominous notes that said: "I have it." As in, I have the remains of your wife, your sister, or your mother. Ugh. What a sick-o.
