If the looters would work a deal with the police officials, the bidders' body parts will be up in auction.

Pointless unless he already smuggled the bronze heads back to China.

it was expected china would grab some guy to be their bidder... whats ridiculous is he chose not to pay.... he would have been more of a "hero" if he bought em and donated them to China
its like how Ghandis famed belongings are going up on the Auction block this month, India wants them but says they're going to bid on them or find someone to bid for them... granted Ghandi's belongings isn't property of Indias but it could argued to be

I don't really see why everyone is praising him
If I'm the winning bidder on this Reventon http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lambo...fCarsQ5fTrucks
then I don't pay for it, and don't take delivery of it, do I have baller status? Hell no. Have I even really done anything at all? Nope.

Nope. | By not paying the bid, it creats a financial lost to the french auctioneer, since they have to redo all the paperworks and stuff again.IF by any chance that the 2nd highest bidder already lost interests at the items, both items might not be sold after all.

This just shows how ridiculous, ignorant, and selfish people can be sometimes.
And screwing up an auction is not the appropriate way of bringing a political or nationalistic message.
The fact that these items were looted many years ago does not make what this person did correct.
He's not a national hero and people cheering him on should be ashamed.
