I see a point of destroying it, I am 100% with captain on turning it into Knight Rider lunch box collector re-issues. Many artists would do anything to have a piece of their art on permanent public display. All this says, is you can put together any piece of trash, and dump it wherever the hell you want, because you think it is art. It sets a bad precedent, that would undoubtedly exploited.
And on the occupy movement being "Historic". It will go down in history as being one of the most laughable failures at public protest in modern history. It will be a late night monologue punchline for years to come.
