Local Scrap Metal Shop Helps Return Stolen Cemetery Monuments Last February four monuments were stolen from Buffalo's Forest Lawn Cemetery -- and thanks to one local scrap metal shop, all the sculptures have been returned, and a man arrested for the crime. One of the monuments, well-known to visitors at Forest Lawn, was a bronze statue depicting a couple waltzing. The statues were worth more than $150,000 combined, reports the Buffalo News. Police say they recovered the stolen items, and arrested a Riverside man.
