STOP THE SLAUGHTER!

I’ve just
learned that in the last few weeks many of the space invaders
in the
streets of Los Angeles have been removed. I have good reason to think
that
this is the work of an individual and not done by the city. I would like to
/>ask the person who is doing this to stop for two main reasons :

1-
that is very selfish act to steal art that is supposed to be free and
for
everybody.

2- that is ridiculous. The tiles are not signed then they
have no value.
You can go and buy some in any tiles shop (like “Opiocolor”
in beverly hills
where I bought them ) they will be the same but not
broken.
