Woodchuck Guilty Of Cemetery Flag Thefts

In Cedar Park Cemetery (Hudson City Cemetery?) in Hudson, NY a woodchuck/groundhog has been found guilty of stealing 75 American flags from Civil War graves.  Hudson is on the Hudson River about 30 miles south of Albany, NY.  About 25 flags were found missing on July 4.  But all of the short wood poles were still in place.  The community mobilized, placed 25 new flags, and offered a $500.00 reward for information.  Shortly afterward the flags were missing again and the poles were still in place.  Baffled, upset and frustrated the community placed 25 more new flags on the graves.  This time the police then placed cameras in trees to record the culprit.  The new flags disappeared again.  The culprit was seen on  film.  It was a woodchuck.  Then a camera was placed on a pole and inserted in the groundhog's burrow.  Voila!  There in the burrow were all of the missing flags.  Was the groundhog upset about something?  Was he upset with Groundhog Phil in Punxsutawney, PA for some reason?  Who knows? Apparently there is a chemical coating on the flags in question that appeals to woodchucks.
