See in what state this nation called Malta is in. People are stealing copper ornaments in trying to make ends meet. Post EU progress where people are living in poverty. We never heard of these news before. This is the difference of earning 500€16c plus 6,000€ and the Maltese rubbish 1€16c while this ruthless PN regime is also contemplating to abolish the COLA. Gvern ahdar u insensitiv.

Just heard in the news that the value put on the contents of the nine sacks is around €2500. Somebody must be mad to make such an evaluation. Well it could be the value of the scrap bronze by weight but surely not of the items stolen. I am one of the victims and the value stolen from us is around €400. I learnt that over 100 tombstones had items stolen from them. Hence the figure stolen should be in the region of €40,000!

Hopefully the culprits who stole items and damaged various graves in the Vittoriosa Cemetery, will also be brought to justice. These are despicable crimes.

Hopefully not another case of the law courts handing down suspended sentences. These men should be made to pay for all the damages and then they must for out the money to have the ornaments back in place. They should also be made to make a PUBLIC apology for the heartache they caused to the relatives of the deceased. No more no less.

@ Pulizija ta Malta : Prosit...m'hemmx kliem jiddeskrivi xoghol eccellenti taghkom!
@ Qrati ta Malta : give them a severe punishment....not a 'slap on the wrist'!

Naqleb naqa l-argument....U dawk li insterqulhom l-oggetti minn fuq l-oqbra?....dawn kif se jibqaw?

Lets us hope there is enough evidence to bring a successful prosecution and conviction then of course it down to the Law Courts to dish out punishment that fits the crimes. Surely the Court of this Country cannot keep pussy footing around with totally inadequate suspended sentencing which is making a mockery of the whole legal system.

OK since they have drug problems we should let them go (sarcastic)

if they are convicted,,,,,, lets give these guys a lesson .

and the whole country's increasing mob.

some things are sacred, untouchable.

as are children and their innocence.

THIS is where we need to show we are strong,,,,,,,, and not in other issues seen lately!!!!
