Deliberate, Malicious Damage

1. Personal Spite. It is believed that personal grudges against some of the pharaohs may have been a motive for defacing some pyramids. Rulers who came after sometimes erased all references to the former ruler.

2. Racial Hatred. This certainly was the motive for the destruction of the tombstones of many Japanese Canadians on Canada?s West Coast during World War II.

3. Morbid Curiosity. Some people break into tombs just to see what?s there or for the thrill of it.

4. Ritual Desecration. Cemeteries generally (and some tombstones in particular) can be subjects of desecration during satanic or other cult practices. This could include breaking crosses and painting cult symbols on monuments.

5. Death Denial. Some psychologists think that teenagers deface tombstones because they don?t want to believe that they will die some day.

6. Bodysnatching. Bodysnatchers were people who would break into tombs, steal the bodies and sell them to anatomy students and medical colleges. They did this in Britain until 1832 when the law changed so it was no longer illegal to obtain bodies for medical studies.

7. Plunder of Riches. Due to the ages-old practice of placing precious objects with the dead, theft of grave goods has been a problem for a long time. Grave robbers usually caused damage when they entered the tombs.
