A tourist from Finland was caught trying to steal an ear of a particular Moai in 2008, at the Anakena beach in Easter Island. The tourist who was 26 years old at that time was reported by a local who saw him carting away the prized artefact. The tourist was fined a huge sum of money and placed under house arrest. He was also instructed to tender an unreserved apology to the Chilean nation. This incident caused a restriction on visits by tourists. Click the next ARROW to see the next photo!
