German police are investigating after over 1,000 QR-code stickers were slapped onto graves across three cemeteries in Munich. The small stickers, when scanned with a mobile phone, show the deceased person’s name and their location in the cemeteries. “We haven’t found any pattern behind this yet. The stickers were put both on decades-old gravestones and very new graves that so far only have a wooden cross,” police spokesperson Christian Drexler told the Associated Press on Wednesday. “People who have witnessed anybody putting the stickers on the graves are asked to reach out to the respective cemetery’s administration,” Drexler said. The mystery has arisen just this week, and the police are on the case because some graves were damaged during the process of the stickers being added to them. In December, police were called when thousands of candles were mysteriously moved from graves in a war cemetery in Halbe, near Berlin.
