To whom? That's not important.

Is there a large French tour group in the city?

Cops: we got nothing.

"When [the NYPD's] Emergency Services went up this morning, the gates were still up and locked," he said. "For someone to go around it and go up to the tower and have right size cover to put over the light, there's some indication of pre-operational planning."

The investigative skills of the NYPD, nothing short of astounding. They planned it, you say? Well, that kills my theory that someone was just driving by in the wee hours of the morning and thought, "Fuck those flags."

Going on my knowledge of Brooklyn and the surrounding area, it's obviously a hipster conspiracy.

E; specifically the ones who spend thousands of dollars to look like homeless people

I wonder if you could make a flag that looked fine when you first put it up, but in UV light it quickly fades to white. Then you just slip those into the rotation and when they get put up you get massive confusion.

Perps found

The Berlin-based duo said that the flags that they put on top of the bridge were not bleached white but were made of white material and then hand-stitched so that it was done in Old Glory style with white stars and stripes. They said that they followed U.S. Flag Code in their handling of the American flags that they took down and promised to return them, but did not say where they are currently being stored or when they plan to give them back.

They also hope to see their white creations returned, telling the Associated Press ”we certainly would love to have them back.”
