iTaggit always stresses the importance of keeping the safety of your valuables a top priority. This includes storing your item's information, such as certificates of authenticity, in a safe place. But sometimes even the safest places can be compromised.

Early Sunday morning, five people forced their way into the Musee d'Orsay and vandalized “Le Pont d'Argenteuil” by Impressionist painter Claude Monet, gouging a four-inch hole in the canvas. Culture Minister Christine Albanel believes France should impose tougher penalties on art vandals. “It would be a good thing to increase the sanctions for (people who vandalize) a church, a museum, a monument, because they are attacking our history.” Albanel also added that the painting will be successfully restored.
