God, hopefully, will reward his bhakta!

In the epic war with pulikesi by narasimha pallavan in salukya capital vatapi, pallava senapathi, paranjoti uprooted the vinayaka from the fort gate and brought the stone murti to his native town. Pulikesi was defeated and killed in the battle.

In deivathin kural, kanchi periyavar says that it is an accepted practice to steal the pillaiyar (tiruttu pillaiyar) from another temple to build a new temple.

For general reading:
"Immigration and customs authorities in New York City have seized over $20 million worth of antiques stolen from Indian temples and hawked to major U.S. museums, from a Manhattan gallery run by an Indian, Subhash Chandra Kapoor (63).Mr. Kapoor, who is currently in prison in Chennai following his arrest in Germany in October after Interpol issued a ‘Red Corner’ notice for smuggling, was also slapped with an arrest warrant by U.S. authorities for possession of stolen property.
According to a statement by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) group, agents on Thursday seized three Chola period bronzes, which were “suspected of having been stolen directly from temples in the Tamil Nadu region of India.”
These bronze statues include a sculpture, depicting Parvati, from the Chola period, valued at nearly $2.5 million; a sculpture depicting Sivagami Amman, said to also be worth over $2.5 million; and a sculpture depicting Murugan, reportedly worth over $3.5 million. All three pieces are visible on the Tamil Nadu police website and on the Interpol Stolen Works of Art Database, officials said."
