Stockton Business Replaces Plaque At Cemetery To Help Stop Metal Thieves

STOCKTON (CBS13) — The owner of Stockton Monument is being credited with a new way to stop metal thieves at a cemetery.

Thieves have tried stealing a large plaque from the monument in front of the Temple Israel Cemetery.

Stockton Monument owner Mike Contreras thought it would be a better idea to remove the plaque and sandblast the message onto the granite himself.

He donated the work that usually costs between $1,200 and $1,800, saying it was just the right thing to do.
