I couldn't believe what I found at the small garden in front of my apartment block!

Maybe these have something to do with me choosing accomodation in this apartment block a few months ago... strange huh

Check it out

:wink:

Actually, I was just thinking the same thing... Although that wouldn't be very nice now, would it? Nah, I guess not.

The rubbing would suck, it looks like acid etching like the back of an iPod.

Better yet, screw eBay and sell it too RedLightRunner for $1.00 so they can in-turn try to sell it for $1,000,000,000 on their site and call it a "Special"...

Do a rubbing, steal the plaque, replace plaque with rubbing, and no ones the wiser. It's win-win.
