There needs to be a triumphal march to commemorate this conservation effort!

Six years if they catch them. I don't think they locked Loreena Bobbit up for that long, did they?

What this reminds me of will make you yawn, sadly.
It reminds me of the state of New Hampshire
and its Great Stone Face.
The edges of the rock suggested a human profile, especially a beaky nose.
And the report was that nobody vandalized it,
simply Nature taking its course.
The rock came off and there was no more forehead nor beaky nose.
The face was simply gone.

I remember the great stone face on Cannon Mountain. It could be seen from the highway and certain vantage points in the White Mountains. Efforts were made to preserve it via support cables and brackets long before it succumbed to what I believe were the natural forces of erosion and gravity. It is remembered in poetry and the New Hampshire quarter dollar.

I believe that the gateposts of many Age-of-Pericles Athenian homes were 'guarded' by phallic statues. Sometime during the Pelopennesian War someone went through town breaking them, and was not caught. This was taken as a bad omen, which events supported.

They could start a Gofundme site. I won't go into the details, but y'all can guess them. Trolls with ED are a disgrace to Norway and all of Scandinavia.

In memory of the Norse settlement of the Orkneys, I think it should be rebuilt and then decently covered with a kilt.

They have a suspect. The Bible has something to say about what you do with offenders like that, I think.
