Beanie Baby felony

Perhaps a lawyer could explain why this is a felony with $5,000 bond -- probably not because of the value of the items, a couple of Beanie Babies, or the location, a cemetery anyone can visit without breaking in. I'm not suggesting any sympathy for the woman. Someone who'd steal something from a grave would steal anything from anybody at any time.

A woman at work gave me a Beanie Baby for a birthday present a few years ago, and I immediately tore the tag off -- isn't that what you do with tags? She almost fainted. Apparently, I had destroyed the collectability value of the thing. Now it's just a stuffed toy sitting on my shelf, worthless.
