    I was robbed in Galveston, TX in the old cemetery. Thank Goodness I was far away from the truck. When I got back someone had used old broken tombstone pieces to break every window out. I had hid my purse inside which was so stupid. Everything taken out strewn about all my money/cards gone. I had stopped there because I'd wanted to read some stones for years. My goal was to go to the beach but it started raining. I changed up plans to go to cemetery. I'll never do that again.

    • @angelwalker979

      Yeah I learned the hard way too years ago, never leave your purse or wallet or money in your vehicle. No matter how far or how long you stray from your car. I used to leave my wallet in my glove box everyday at a job I had at a small warehouse. One day my wallet was stolen. Luckily I only had about 30 dollars cash, but my license, pics and important stuff in it. Luckily (again) someone found my wallet couple days later in a trash can at a gas station a town over. Everything was still there minus the cash. So sorry what happened to you that's awful.

This cemetery is dark and eerie, which I love. I never thought of a cemetery as being dangerous before, I don’t know why. But seems like they can be. Take care. There are plenty of witnesses here, though it would be better for you if you don’t need us. Stay safe.
