Terrible disrespect, to him his family and fans. I’m sure the idiot will try to sell it on ebay.

,,,,find this thief and publicly beat him.

Terrible disrespect!! Very sad!

LOL!

Bash the thief over the head with the gravestone once he gets caught and bury him in a grave.

Finally! We got it! Now we will bring him back to life.

it would be hard to be caught on ebay alright!
pretty shitty alright..ud want to be some scumbag or an attention seeking prick. ian curtis… such a legend

Pathetic thieves.

i wish this idiot a horrible and painful death

i don’t think ian would care even if he were alive.

I just wonder what’s the use of this stone for the person who stole it. Apparently it can not be sold on ebay, so maybe it will be a decoration item for his/her living room/kitchen/bedroom? I also wonder how this person would feel if someone snatched a gravestone of a person very dear to him. Stealing this won’t make you the biggest fan of Joy Division and Ian Curtis – it just makes you seem so sad and pathetic.

bet it was the killers

FUCK this shit!! what happened?

ian curtis doesn’t deserved that

This is a horribly disrespectful thing to do and makes me very sad. This idiot probably thinks what they did is really cool and makes them the biggest fan. If they were really such a huge Joy Division fan they would not have disrespected the family and friends of Ian Curtis by stealing something very dear to them.

This idiot will surely be caught because they most definitely will tell someone that has a conscience and be turned in.

My worst fear however is that they were paid by someone very wealthy to do this and it will never be seen again. This happens with art all the time.

I think that is fuckin cool, buy another one, I am surprised it took this long to have it stolen,gose to show he was a bad motherfucker, I wish i was regared so as to have my shit taken!!!!!!!

Despite being distasteful and reprehensible on all conceivable levels, it does prove one thing: peoples’ James Dean-esque obsession with Ian Curtis has not diminished nary a bit. Quite the contrary- it’s only gotten stronger with the passage of time, especially in the last year with the release of Control. That film has introduced several friends of mine to Joy Division and even those who knew about Ian Curtis and Joy Division have a new found respect for what they managed to accomplish in Post-punk England.

Another example why cremation is the way to go.

That’s awful…….he suffered enough torment in life, and now in death too? Find this scumbag and put him away. RIP Ian, your music lives on here with me.

He should’ve done what I did: sell your soul to the Great Lord Satan and live forever. Nobody takin’ MY fuckin gravestone.

thats so fucking disrespectful…you don’t do that to anyone…especially such a legend!!!!

RIP IAN…..if it weren’t for your music i wouldn’t be the musician i am.

Ian Curtis must be rolling over in his grave.

Actually Ray, Ian Curtis was cremated. It is possible to bury ashes apparently

It takes the piss the fuckin scruffy bastards need a lampin.

That’s pretty sad. I guess there’s a big downside to renewed interest in the band. It’s a remarkable testament to JD’s fan base that noting like this has happened before. Too bad at least one of their newer fans lacks that integrity.

lol i like jeffry gusek’s response

I just wander how can you be so sick to steal sth like that?! How can a man show such a lack of respect?!

That was very disrespectful, but look at the world we live it. I used to have a human skull next to my bed, with a candle melted on top. My brother stole it from Bio Lab he said. Come to find out, the person’s skull had a huge gun shot hole it the side of his head. I SWEAR IT’S SPIRIT HAUNTED ME! I later traded it for a Sisters of Mercy Bootleg. RIP

Absolutly ridiculous! Ian was a normal reagular but talanted guy. He had a mum, dad, sister, wife etc. And he was someones world, and to steal his grave is sick!!

i didnt know there were joy fans out there besides me–holy crap–IAN CURTIS IS MY SOULMATE LET HIS SOUL BE SET FREE AS THE ANGEL HE WAS BORN TO BE

theres a fire in our hearts night and day

There are 66 days between April 30th and July 4th of every celebrated year. 3 is represented as a triangle and multiplied to achieve greater strength as 33, or 333. 333 + 333 equals 666. (3+3) + (3+3) + (3+3) = 666, July carries number 3, plus on the third day. Research this info, perhaps the Masons robbed him from his grave? R.I.P. Ian…

CORRECTION: Gravestone probably stolen on June 30th of 2008, demonstrating the power of (333), Following month is July, the 7th month of the year. “One of the most sacred of all the numbers…the Invisible Centre, the Spirit of everything”, quoted by Van Buren. Happy Birthday Ian, R.I.P.
