Grave markers just don't sink. Something is a miss here with them. Thieves usually only steal the bronze flower vase. Clip the chain if it has one and be gone with it. Lugging a marker attached to the stone is not easy to do, very heavy. The only way for it to be pushed underground would be the groundskeeper ran over it with a mower. It is hard to swallow that the ground swallowed it up.

I am the President of a Historical Cemetery and the thieves love those markers but before you get going on thieves, see if the marker has sunk into the ground....it may be a few inches below the grass...the cemetery folks should be able to probe for it...we have had some as deep as 6" below the grass as rains and ground movement will let them settle....Good Luck...
