Bureau of Land Management reports increase in theft, damage of fossils from public lands

This story about the recent loss of a millions-of-years-old dinosaur footprint uses the word "vandals" to describe the criminals, but I think that's misleading. Yes, the perpetrators destroyed the footprint, but they did so accidentally in the process of trying to steal a piece of public, shared natural history to sell on the private market. It seems like "fossil poachers" might be a better label for what's going on and what the Bureau of Land Management is trying to fight.
