AC/DC grave robbed

THIEVES have stolen a plaque from AC/DC singer Bon Scott's heritage-listed Fremantle grave on what would have been the rocker's 60th birthday.
The National Trust of Australia brass plaque is believed to have been stolen from the grave at Fremantle Cemetery at the weekend. Sunday would have been Scott's 60th. 
Doug Thorncroft, self-described "head honcho" of the West Australian Bon Scott Fan Club, said he was shattered. "It's very disappointing, particularly at this very special time of the year," Mr Thorncroft said. "Some insignificant individual has decided to sabotage (the grave) and steal this plaque." 
Mr Thorncroft said he thought the theft had probably been an alcohol-fuelled spur-of-the-moment thing. 
"They're possibly sitting at home now feeling terrible, which I hope they are," he said. 
The grave is a popular tourist site, attracting thousands of rock'n'roll pilgrims every year.
Scott was born in Scotland but came to Australia at the age of six and grew up in Perth.
