RFID in graveyards

Vandalism of graveyards is a sad but common phenomenon in Scandinavia. These actions are typically performed by bored teenagers in the silence of the night. A lack of resources makes it hard for the churches to protect their graveyards.

Now the Danish software developer Lyngsoe Systems has come up with a solution to prevent desecration of the graves.

Gravestones as well as valuable artefacts inside the church are tagged with RFID. When someone tries to move a gravestone, a nearby RFID reader triggers an alarm. The same thing happens if someone tries to steal the tagged chandelier inside the church."
