The news is out: [An American tourist who pilfered and defaced a shard of an ancient Roman marble has mailed the piece back to Italy, begging for forgiveness.
This week the National Roman Museum received a parcel from Atlanta, Georgia, which contained a rock with “To Sam, love Jess, Rome 2017” written on it in marker pen, museum director Stéphane Verger told the Il Messaggero newspaper.
The rock was wrapped in newspaper, placed in a cardboard box, and sent with a note in which the sender expressed their shame, The Telegraph said.
“Please forgive me for being such an American a–hole,” the letter said. “I took something that was not mine to take.”]
At least, she knows herself pretty well.

I was educated in Catholic schools and spent 6 years at the Petit Seminaire College Saint-Martial, a Jesuit seminary. I am a twice Ordained minister from the Open Ministry Church, and the Universal Life Church The Monastery. I am not religious or an atheist, I enjoy spirituality. Religion, politics and gardening (not necessarily in that order) are my favorite subjects of conversation.
Other areas of interest include: Human diversity, criminal and constitutional law (graduated from the police academy CCJST), Africa, ancient history, slavery, automotive technology and research at the GM training Center (Tech I and III), Chrysler Technical Training (BE and T-121).
