Very sad story and I hope they catch whoever is responsible! :angry: I would imagine that sooner or later someone will see these stolen items and make a phone call......kinda reminds me of your Nordic Rune Charlie, it's not like these things aren't easily identifiable!

I really can't fathom anyone wanting to see such things anywhere other then their natural setting.cgode wrote:

This is something I kind of take personal. I have visited many good sites like this in the Southwest and every time I get a feeling I cannot describe. To see this kind of vandalism really kind of sickens me. It also does irepairable harm to the honest collector's reputation.

I share your feelings, Ray. On my first trip to the SW, back in the mid 80's, I took a few hundred photos of petroglyphs in Az. Back home in RI, I recorded some in photo for the first time. Rock art is a very unique "remains" from the past. I believe a site I helped record on Narragansett Bay was used by shamans.rmartin wrote:

Beautiful setting too. How can that not be special? Great damage from storms has erased many of the most interesting images, but others lie safely under the sands of the beach. Can't see them, but I know they're
protected while buried. This was a terrible act of greed and disrespect.

Yup, Gives us all a bad name. We have the Sanilac county Petroglyphs and they are defaced. All fenced in now.rmartin wrote:
