Grave robbery is the crime of removing valuables from a person's grave. Most states treat grave robbery as its own offense, although some states incorporate grave robbery into other robbery statutes. Texas, for example, defines felony theft as the act of stealing more than $1,500 worth of goods from a person, corpse or grave. The offense is punishable by time in jail. Family members of the deceased may also institute a civil action to recoup the value of the stolen property or to punish the perpetrator for committing a tort.
