Due to the concern of grave robbers, officials at Crown Hill Cemetery persuaded John Dillinger's father to have his famous son's grave re-opened, so as to place staggered concrete slabs, along with poured concrete and chicken wire, in and around the grave as a permanent deterrent. He'd already been offered ten thousand dollars from a Wisconsin carnival man to "borrow" Dillinger's body for his show, an offer that was fiercely rejected. The grave work was done within a day or two of the initial burial. The identity of who paid for this expensive preventative measure is unknown.
