Californians caught carving their intitials into the Colosseum

[Psk]

2 women, ages 21 and 25, left their tour group and used a coin to carve a "J" and an "N", into the Colosseum. They were caught by security after they documented their crime by taking a selfie. The initials were about 3" high, on a wall that was restored during the 1800s. Defacing the Colosseum is forbidden — if common sense doesn't stop a person, signs everywhere in English and Italian are posted.

3 months ago a Russian tourist who was caught carving a 10-inch letter received a four month suspended prison sentence and a fine of $22,000. The Californians are set to face a judge soon.
