Think Pete should try this with Cooperstown?
Seriously, this has been going on since July 2001 and they were never caught? So much for the French Police..........

I was in Paris in March. If I saw any of those fake plaques, they fooled my rather easily......

....maybe I should actually learn French before going back.

Reminds me of that body-outline-art that was all over NYC about 20 years ago.............who was the guy that did that? I think it was used on an X-mas music album eventually too..........

I think the fact that what these guys did wasn't illegal was why the French Police didn't catch them

The feature said:
Conservative city councilor Claire de Clermont-Tonnerre, who raised the issue of the fake plaques at a council meeting last week, said they detracted attention from the real ones.


Would not the above imply that someone would want this stopped?
