It's a shame this guy didn't just do the turf hair-do. I wonder if he would have been jailed just for that? Not entirely useful for our project, but I wonder if just adding the sod (no damage really) would have been an offense.

Cambridge-based student James Matthews, 25, was also ordered to pay £250 in compensation to the Royal Parks Agency for the damage he caused. He pleaded guilty at Horseferry Road Magistrates' Court to intentionally or recklessly damaging the statue in Parliament Square.
His defacement of the statue happened on the same day as rioting on 1 May, which saw damage estimated at thousands of pounds caused to central London property.
The figure, which stands in Parliament Square, was made to look as though blood was dripping from its mouth. Graffiti was sprayed on the plinth and a turf mohican was added to the statue's head.
