Neh, what made ME almost choke on my iced tea was the initial thought jumping into my mind when I read the headlines..... that they'd chiseled petroglyphs off a wall somewhere, as HAS happened elsewhere.

I was actually relieved at hearing all they'd done was move boulders, without damaging them irreparably.

As for appealing because there was no proof the boulders weren't worth over $1,000...... I DARE them to file a spurious ad on ebay!
