    Or (seriously) the Turks would have literally blown them to smithereens.

    Weren't Turkish soldiers, who occupied Greece back then, using the Parthenon as a gunpowder store at the time?

    Itemized invoice from a QC:

    For seeing you the other side of the street -- 50 guineas

    For crossing the street to greet you -- 200 guineas

    For discovering it wasn't you after all -- 20 guineas

    TOTAL : 270 guineas, due by return of post

    They should transfer ownership of the objects to a Museum Benefit Trust in the Dutch Antilles, who would loan them back. QCs would soon approve of that.
