At an exhibition in the cafeteria common room of Frankfurt University Library, Jochem Hendricks presented alongside four other pieces, a work consisting of an open locker, filled with coins for the coffee and sandwich vending machines, secured by a pane of bullet-proof glass riveted across the front. After two of the pieces had been stolen during the first few of days of the exhibition, a man dresssed in a trenchcoat, a slouch-hat and sunglasses appeared with a power drill, said he was the artist, drilled open the locker and made off with the money.
