Dude in the comments was right. There's probably some middle aged Goth writing really bad poetry with that tombstone in their room.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

I'm curious to know if Mac were dead, who on the either forum would be most likely to steal his headstone?

Stealing a tombstone, in general, is a non-trivial endeavor. Unless it is a very small stone, it's likely to be a multiple-person job, requiring equipment and transportation suited to the task. This eliminates just about everyone on both forums.
After a rough calculation of the time and expenses involved, I conclude that the only person willing to spend the money would be Red.

Is your knowledge of cemetery picnics just as extensive as that of stealing headstones?
