Outraged Welsh police are searching for the shameless teenagers who stole cars from a Cardiff cemetery car park while their grieving owners tended to the graves.
The youths, who have probably never held valid driving licences or young driver car insurance, picked a 73-year-old widower visiting the Western Cemetery as their first target.
Assuming his prized yellow mini was safe on sacred ground, he had left the keys in the ignition. The devastated pensioner was then forced to watch as one of the teens brazenly got into the car and sped off.
"He actually stood in front of the car to stop them driving off," said Caerau officer PC Steph Samuel, "but they reversed, knocking over three grave stones at the same time."
The second stolen vehicle was a blue Toyota, taken last Monday lunchtime while its unsuspecting owner tended to a nearby grave.
Both cars were found written off and abandoned in nearby Plymouth Woods, a common dumping ground for stolen vehicles.
Mike Page, speaking on behalf of the young driver car insurance specialists at Hoot, said "Preying on the bereaved is an appalling new trend in youth car crime.
"Blaming these teenagers' behaviour on the price of motor insurance is unacceptable when there are cheap car insurance premiums readily available online.
"What with disturbing mourners, thieving from holy ground and knocking down grave stones, I don't know how these lads can live with themselves," he added.
