News from Chicago of Urn Theft, Double Sales

Constant & close communication. 5 disciplines: mental models, personal mastery, systemic thinking, shared vision, team learning. Are we close?


This is a news from Chicago about arrest of former employees of a cemetery stealing urns for scrap.  Times are really bad in US?  Another manager went to jail for double sales.

So let us do our job very well.  BE CAREFUL OF DOUBLE SALES.  Mind your documentation very well.  Such offenses are  not only administrative but could land you in jail


Here is the news:

CHICAGO (CBS) — Another Burr Oak Cemetery employee has been linked to criminal activity in cemeteries, this time involving the theft of decorative urns.
As WBBM Newsradio’s Steve Miller reports, two men from Chicago – Mario Bautista, 18, and Orneli Castaneda, 59 – are charged with stealing the urns from area cemeteries. The urns had been used for flowers at gravesites.
LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio’s Steve Miller reports

A 911 call of a theft in progress led police to a home at 101st Street and Ewing Avenue Monday morning. Officers found two men loading blue bags filled with urns into a sport-utility vehicle.
The Cook County Sheriff’s office says Castaneda has worked part-time at Burr Oak Cemetery.
Authorities say they are still working to find out whose family plots – and which cemeteries – were targeted by Castaneda and Bautista, who they say intended to sell the urns and the plaque for scrap metal.
As it happens, on Monday – the same day Castaneda and Bautista were arrested – the former manager of Burr Oak Cemetery surrendered to begin serving a 12-year sentence for grave desecration and profiting by re-selling already occupied grave plots.
Carolyn Towns, 51, of Blue Island, pleaded guilty in July to several charges stemming from the scheme.
To accommodate the new bodies, Towns had the gravediggers exhume the bodies that were already buried, prosecutors said. They would crush the vaults and caskets in the graves and dump the remains in another part of the cemetery, prosecutors said.
Other times, the gravediggers would stack caskets on top of each other, prosecutors said.
Foreman Keith Nicks, and laborers Terrence Nicks and Maurice Dailey, have been charged with doing the dirty work in the scheme. Their cases are pending.

Will this happen to us?  If some could fool us with their use of time and resources, would they not do the same if allowed to work further.?  If some people can steal time, they could steal urns.

We had a lot of double sales dont we.

Think haard about this.  Audit and  correct our mistakes.  HLC JF

  1. Thanks sir for the post as a reminder for us. All SBUs encountered double sales. We must be very careful in giving / offering lot numbers to our customers to avoid such things from happening to us. We must always check and double check the lot before giving it to the customer.

  2. Always teach integrity, and being good, and remembering Verse 8 of 2 Corinthians 9. Always for a good cause. Not bad. Good behavior as a person and as an employee.

    Thieves will land in jail. The price of sin is death.

  4. Very informative. These will surely help us to be more careful in selling lots particularly in giving locations. we must always check and verify that the plot is still vacant to avoid future problems or worse going into jail.
