World | Britain Vandals Chip Away at Stonehenge It's a grab and run By Matt Cantor Posted May 23, 2008 7:35 AM CDT Copied Some of the many thousands who came to the ancient Stonehenge monument in South West England wait in vain for the Summer Solstice sunrise, Thursday, June 21, 2007, as the sun was obscured by clouds.

Two men used a hammer to knock off the piece, then hopped a fence and drove away. Local police are investigating the attack on the ancient World Heritage site. “The damage is very, very slight because security guards spotted them straight away, but the whole thing is upsetting," said a spokesman for a conservation group.
