    She said: “It’s really important to recognize that some of these things, especially with such historical and cultural value to an entire country and people – you can’t really put a number on that.”

    God it makes me so happy when people respect the value of history.

    The British Museum should take notice. Even a random US tourist knows that historical items should be returned to the country they are taken/stolen from.

    A vase for $4 is a good deal. What was she expecting, solid gold? I don’t think I would have gone as far as involving all of Mexico but I guess it’s easier to just give her a refund.

    You can’t really expect a new vase for that price. She was lucky to get a refurbished in such a good condition.
