Default Easter Island vandalization-Aarrr!

Did you hear about this idiot who chipped off a piece of earlobe from the Easter Island statue! I'm for collecting, but this goes too far! What a selfish jerk! At least they caught him. It's like the destruction of those huge 2000 year old Buddhas. Such a shame. To open up a discussion that I hope won't create any great controversy, when and what is OK to collect? Many of us have edged weapons with rhino hilts. Some have midaeval swords taken from burial vaults. Others collect Tibetan artifacts of human bone or American Indian scalps or S. Amer shrunken heads. So...what's taboo??
