    oh…

  2. So they want people to bring items back to their home countries?

    Some poor greek family are going to have a lot of trouble getting the Elgin marbles through baggage checking in Ryanair.

  3. Didn’t they index them, when they were looted/stolen from their original countries? Or do they need help with restolen stuff? Baffling this.

  4. I would gladly help them to point out the painting they obtained by bribing the local mayor of my hometown 150 years ago.

    Hopefully the masterpiece could go back in the church where it was originally placed, and be enjoyed by local population and not to be in some aseptic corridors only to be a blurry background in some donkey-head influencer video.

  5. I will not say anything because most of the comments will probably point the obvious
