NICOSIA — Cyprus police say grave robbers have stolen the remains of two Archbishops who led the island's Greek Orthodox church in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Police spokesman Michalis Katsounotos says the Archbishops' coffins were found missing early Sunday after officers responded to a fire at a downtown Nicosia graveyard where the tombs of Sofronios III and Kyrillos II are located.

No motive for the theft was given.

The Archbishops led the Cypriot church between 1865 and 1916.

The theft comes days after the stolen corpse of the island's former president Tassos Papadopoulos was found and reburied. Three men — including a convicted murderer serving life in prison — face charges of extortion over the Dec. 11 theft.

At least Kitas got it right this time, the Church has much more to pay a ransom than the Government!

Apparantly nothing was stolen, it was just an atempt. The Bulgarian man has been sent to Athalassa Ward. And if you think that is strange, how about this one I just read on another forum. Someone has broken into a well know dog sanctuary last night and stolen 2 rescued dogs. They have even put pictures of the dogs which have gone missing and asking for anyone who might know there whereabouts. Is this a strange one or what? Why didn't they just go to the sancuary and take the 2 dogs and if they have homes now why do the sanctuary want them back?
