He was planning to take it home using the scooter and a really long extension cord.

The locals have been doing that in Rome for 2000 years.
I toured the Colosseum last October. The guide pointed out one of the few remaining sections of Cararra marble in the place. He said the rest had been stolen over a two year period following the fall of Rome.
He said that there were houses/buildings all over Rome that had stone in it from the Colosseum. That instead of having to pay a quarry for new stone it was easier to go over to the ruin and just steal it.

But it’s a great trophy for the Toga party.

He was just using it for ballast. You know how those little scooters bounce around.

When in Rome, scoot with the relics the Romans scoot with.

It was the last piece, he’d already made his getaway during past vacations. :^)

Sounds like the Dossena Deception was more like the Fasoli ****-Over. :^)

A man arrived at a doctor’s office with a frog growing out of his forehead.
“How did this start?”
The frog said, “it started as a wart on my ass.”
Maybe the sculpture was *trying* to frame the guy and make its getaway on the scooter...

As an Art History major, Alceo Dossena and Han Van Meegeren are two of my favorite stories. As master forgers, they exposed who the real fraudsters were in the 20th century art world, and it wasn’t the artists.

Don’t get me started on “statue” of limitations.

Scotch tape a handle on it and it’ll pass as checked luggage.
