Police seeking to return gravestone found in front yard
January 18, 2006
Associated Press

(LAPORTE, Ind.) - Police want to return a gravestone that was found in the front yard of a northwest Indiana vacation home.
The homeowners found the two-foot high marble monument Monday outside their home on Saugany Lake, about 15 miles west of South Bend.

LaPorte County police are trying to figure out where the gravestone belongs. They've contacted several area cemeteries, but none has reported one missing.

The marker has the name Victor Lundstrom and the dates 1866 to 1943. Police hope someone will recognized the name and contact them.

Officials say the stone is too heavy for a single person to move. It appears to have been in the yard of the vacation home for some time.

The gravestone is being kept in a police evidence locker.
