Yes. A gang of counterfeiters hatched a plan to steal his body so they could exchange it for the freedom of a friend. What they didn't know is that a a Brinks man ( early FBI) was in the group and relayed the plans to the police. The gang was allowed to get the body out and almost to the door before they were arrested. One of the things that happened because of this is that Lincoln's tomb was damaged, so they moved his body to the basement while it was being repaired. They piled wood scraps on his coffin ( Mary Todd joined him down there after her death) and because of various delays it stayed there for 32 years before he was finally put to rest.

What do you do when you like someone and they have a boyfriend?
Find another boyfriend, of course. I might try and be their friend, though. I wouldn't try and steal someone's boyfriend, personally I think it's rather rude unless things don't work out and when their relationship has ended maybe I would think about it then.
