Exception to a rule
Vintage.es has a feature on an ancient form of self-defense against Experts. In the late 1800s medical schools used huge numbers of cadavers for training, and openly hired criminal graverobbers to supply the bodies.
Ordinary people got tired of losing their loved ones and filling in the holes, so they developed a counter-industry of mortsafes. Some were just heavy stones over the grave, others were iron frames ranging from crude to beautiful. There was clearly a standard blueprint and some degree of mass production.
I'll make an exception to my normal experiential education rule. When real specimens encourage crime, virtual specimens are better!
