You know, if you’re an artist and you donate a large piece to a city, and that city gives it to another city which then decides not to display it due to liability concerns (instead keeping it in a municipal storage lot next to the garbage cans), and then someone comes along and chops it off at the ankles to sell it for scrap, and the theft isn’t noticed until an annual inventory, and not reported to the police for three months, and even though it’s insured for $175K the city decides not to pursue the insurance claim because it’s not worth the bother and the $10K deductible… well, that gotta kinda hurt.
