"since Nagorka generally goes to work in the aisles without prior permission
from store officials"

Except for the above, note how the story doesn't really even mention the fact
that this "artist" (scare quotes deliberate) is basically vandalising, defacing,
stealing, disrupting operations and generally violating the rights of the Home
Depots she visits.

As an HD stockholder I'm annoyed that store management at the stores she
violates isn't prosecuting her for the lost costs.

Instead we get NPR puff pieces that glorify theft.


I fail to see where she steals anything in the store.  She just rearranges the
stock into interesting, if ephemral, shapes.  Where's she appearing next?  I'll
even buy something in the store.  :-)

I've got a "What if?"

She's stacking up these bricks without the store's OK to show off her artistic
talents.  One slips out of her hands as she's stacking and it is the last and
highest placed.  The brick then lands on her foot and breaks it(her foot).
Who's liable for the injuries she's recieved?  The store?  She?  A customer
seeing her making this and not take action to stop it?

She could be stealing if the store is found liable and gives her a big fat
check.  A brand new New York studio??? Huuummummmmmm...

Adr.
