Who would deliberately destroy
a beautiful sand sculpture that took many hours to create?
That's what police in Hawaii want to know.
An idiotic act of vandalism
is captured on surveillance camera.
A young lady pulls the head off a sand sculpture
after straddling the glass barrier
at the iconic Royal Hawaiian Resort in Waikiki.
She also pulls a nose off the sculpture,
before wobbling off the barrier.
Her friend records the destruction on her cellphone.
If that's not enough,
the vandal slams a pillow into the sculpture
and then throws other items at it.
The Royal Hawaiian is famous for its pink exterior
and is nicknamed the Pink Palace of the Pacific.
It also served as the backdrop to several movies,
including, "Punch Drunk Love."
Police have identified the vandal.
No word on what exact charges she may face.
The artist behind the sand sculpture
has flown to Hawaii to repair the damage.
