Some of the headstones damaged are from the 1920s with no families to contact, while some loved ones discovered the destruction while trying to pay their respects.

Yeah, I know - drunken kids, and it happens everywhere. It still sucks.
I lived just a couple blocks from this cluster of cemeteries. It looks like one big cemetery but there's actually five of them (Modesto Citizens Cemetery, Acacia Memorial Park, Modesto Pioneer Cemetery and St Stanislaus Cemetery and a small Pauper's Cemetery), and these are Modesto's first burial grounds.
I've spent hours and hours in there researching Stanislaus County's history over the years and the headstones have a wealth of information on them - a listing of family members, the deceased's place of birth, occupation, etc.
