If they were the best exhibit why were they placed on the stairs, and not better protected from visitors?

[RegulatorCountry]

D'OH!

[RichInOC]

Okay, who let Chevy Chase in?

The visitor is said to have slipped on a loose shoelace and fallen down a staircase bringing the vases crashing down as he tried to steady himself.

Maybe the vases shouldn't have been displayed on an unsecured shelf in a stairwell....

[Integrityrocks]

HATE it when that happens!

[The_Republican]

LOL!

[mtbopfuyn]

The vases were merely on a shelf in a stairway? Just sitting on a shelf for the falling visitor to grab? If that's the story, then Lloyds of London better take a gander at their security system and reevaluate their policy.

Billy Ray Valentine: Hey, sorry about that.
Randolph Duke: It's perfectly alright William. It was your vase.
Billy Ray Valentine: That was a cheap vase, right? That was a fake?
Randolph Duke: I believe we paid $35,000. But if I remember correctly, the insurance company valued it at $50,000. You see, Mortimer? William has already made us $15,000.
[Coleman, Mortimer, Randolph, and Billy Ray start laughing]
Billy Ray Valentine: You want me to break something else?
Randolph Duke, Mortimer Duke, Coleman: NO!

One of these days I'm afraid my mom will appear on the Antiques Roadshow with the Japanese tea set my grandpa brought back from the war. It is then the appraiser will informer her that the server was broke in half (by me when I was fourteen) and glued back together at some point. Could have easily fetched over $5000, but now only $30....

JERRY: Alright, alright. What's the big hubbub, bub?

(Kramer runs to his apartment, then returns with a duffel bag. He places it on the table, and reveals the statue)

GEORGE: Kramer, I can't believe it. Oh, you're my hero!

KRAMER: Yeah.

JERRY: Kramer, what did you do?

KRAMER: Well, let's put it this way: I didn't take him to People's Court.

GEORGE: I feel like a huge weight's been lifted off my shoulders. (Giddily) I.. I.. I feel happy! Kramer, I don't know how to thank you!

KRAMER: Well, I'll think of something.. (Slaps George on the back - sending the statue crashing to the ground)
