Heard that on the radio this morning. What CNN left out of their reporting that ABC radio didn't is that a U.S. Citizen tackeled the thief and held him until the police arrived. Good ole CNN "forgetting" an American saved the day....kinda goes against their agenda I guess.

Interesting. Surprised they didn't call him a deranged Trump supporter.

I was wondering what Nicolas Cage had been up to lately.

Can you imagine some redneck going into a local pawn shop and trying to see how much he could get for it?

How can it be worth anything?

UK and US politicians pee on the damn thing every chance they get.

There are three more in the British Museum, as i recall. Though they may have moved to the library during that reorg a while back.

Kind of amazing that they kept it in something you could smash a hole in (or 3 from the pic) with a hammer though.
