Heritage crime and punishment: ’nuff said!

Punching a Monet

…… 5 years jail.

.

Chipping a bit off a decorative rock in a US football stadium:

….. charged with grand larceny and malicious injury to property.

.

Bulldozing part of  Offa’s Dyke

….. Not charged (“Didn’t realise”)

.

Bulldozing a Priddy Circle

…..  very rich, so volunteered money to study what’s left, tiny fine, 0 years jail.
