In the movie "The Magic Christian" the richest man in the world buys the Mona Lisa and cuts out the nose to keep. (A jolly mad romp that also features Ringo Starr, Christopher Lee as the Count, a soundtrack by Badfinger, and the late Raquel Welch as "The Mistress of the Whip." You have had a hard week and really deserve to order out, chill some beer, and watch this one.

Seriously, there are laws in France protecting works of art. Even if a work is privately owned, owners are not allowed to alter, deface or destroy it. I do not know know about the U.S.
