In this edition of weird news, thieves broke into President Garfield’s tomb in Cleveland Heights.

A cemetery worker found the 20th President of the United States’ spoons to be missing. The spoons were located in a glass case next to his coffin.

Police report that cigarette butts, a t-shirt, and a bottle of whiskey were found at the scene.

President Garfield — if you don’t remember — was in office for less than a year (200 days) until he was assassinated by Charles J. Guiteau. Guess someone felt strongly about Guiteau not getting the American consul job, or they really, really needed spoons. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
