Net Surfer (WB
) - you should have gone to Rome and nicked the Coliseum instead! Pieces of wall are a good asset (see also sales statistics of "Berlin Wall" in 1989 - and don't forget that the NYSE is on
Wall Street...). And now that it's one of the Wonders Of The World, it'd bring in much better money than glass. Also, the Roman carabinieri are too busy looking good to catch coliseum thieves......
As for Kalinka..... friends, friends! Let not our minds be clouded by prejudices....... I, personally, go with the Swede theory as well.
You see, the motive wasn't money, but jealousy! This Swede was blinded with jealousy, because his mighty and glorious neighbours, the Danes, have built a bridge from Denmark to Sweden.
He also wanted one
from Sweden to Denmark!
Pure ego! That, and of course, it would make it easier for him to go and get drunk in Copenhagen on weekends.....
PS: Вадимчик, I fully agree with the others - your English is absolutely excellent. Probably better than that of many native speakers!
