<story><title>Untergunther – Restoration of the Pantheon clock (2007)</title><url>https://urban-resources.net/untergunther.html</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>seabass-labrax</author><text>I think it&amp;#x27;s wonderful that people are restoring public objects of historical value, but nowhere does the article explain why this has to be clandestine.&lt;p&gt;The article says that Monum&amp;#x27;s leadership didn&amp;#x27;t want to publicise the repair, but why would they? It would be a tacit admission that illegal entry into protected historical sites is justifiable for the purpose of &amp;#x27;guerilla restoration&amp;#x27; - wherever such a position is valid or not, endorsing it would indeed compromise Monum and similar organisations. Monsieur Jeannot was surely right in this regard.&lt;p&gt;That leaves me wondering why simply asking wasn&amp;#x27;t an option. Are Monum really so resistant to offers of restoration that a few phone calls and a press release couldn&amp;#x27;t have done the job, saving both sides a lawsuit?</text></comment>
