Usually high value art is kept in a controlled environment, not a low rent high rise?
For the dumb-dumb? Prison will be the least of his many problems.

“The burglars took 24,000 Chinese postage stamps, 10 coins and seven calligraphy scrolls from Fu’s apartment, where he stored his collections. Fu estimated that the Mao calligraphy was worth about $300 million and that the theft totaled about $645 million. No independent appraisals of the collections were available.”

Anything this emulator of Hitler has written should be torn and burned.
I still like the old spelling. Mao tse Tung
Hong Kong dollar is worth $0.13. So, billions there. Not as much here.
Any record of Mao that is removed from the world is a net gain in my mind.
It sounds like they could just tape it back together, right?
The buildings in HK are prefabbed, concrete high-rises that are designed for window units. Even expensive flats have either window units, inserted through a wall or a split unit in every room. The concrete wall and roof are pretty good at controlling the temperature, especially if it isn’t the top floor flat. Most people also have dehumidifiers in their home there so the storage conditions would not be as bad you might think. The real issue is fluorescent lighting which causes inks to fade.
Anita Dunn will be sad.
I’m kind of respectful for the Hong Kongers - even though it was worth millions (US), they still tore it up. Shows what they think of Mao.
“Stolen Mao Zedong calligraphy said to be worth billions torn in half by unwitting Hong Kong buyer”
isn’t that what Scotch Tape is for?
