There's a bit of Peter Pan in all of us

At the Artist's Talk this evening I learned about a project by Diane Borsato, entitled Bouquet, in which she stole flowers from people's gardens to make a bouquet for her mother. The instructions from the Critical Art Ensemble for the project were to "commit a crime with a humanitarian outcome."

Have you ever done something before that conformed to these instructions? I have. For example, last year my roommates and I stole a traffic pylon that was on the road so that we could bring it out at parties and make people happy.
