Victorian-era casket found in Washington, D.C.

...and vandals damage it. I wonder if the occupant will seek vengeance. The Washington Post has the details:

On Monday evening, after word of the archaeological find spread through the neighborhood and crowds of onlookers had gathered throughout the day, workers locked the casket in the empty building for safekeeping.

But that night, vandals went to work. According to Boyd, they bashed in the building's back door, cracked the casket's iron faceplate and broke the sheet of glass beneath it.

"When I saw the damage the next day, I was shocked that someone would be so stupid, so animal-like that they would do this to something so historic and to someone's tomb," Boyd said. "It was like these people were grave robbers or something."
