Recovering Stolen Goods

Someone who has had her/his property stolen might ask for help getting it back by going to the grave of a loved one. S/he will tap on the headstone three times and call the name three times, asking the spirit to help recover the stolen property. Before s/he leaves, s/he will set three copper pennies on the grave.
