Charlie Chaplin's corpse was once stolen. Just three months after his death, his body was stolen from the cemetery in Switzerland on Christmas day in 1977 by two unemployed immigrants who thought they could get money in exchange for his body. The plot failed and the grave robbers were arrested and Chaplin's body recovered. To keep this from happening again, Chaplin was buried under 6 feet of concrete the second time around.
