In 2004 America? You're probably facing criminal assault charges and a
$15 million civil suit for assault and severe psychological harm. And if
you're smart you plea bargain the first and settle the second. :-)

Subject: Re: [Leica] mild cardiac arrest
New house cleaning persons here - woman and daughter - to put house in
proper order for potential buyers. I walk in corridor to see daughter
wielding a spray container of Glass Plus ("streak-free shine" and "use
on
many household surfaces") beginning to squeeze forth from this container
a
spray of its contents onto the surface of an unglazed Ciba print, one of
only six of my own images that hang in my home. I am unable to prevent
the
thorough soaking of this p-hotograph though I am able to save the
others. My
shriek attracts the attention of mother who arrives to find me gripping
her
daugher's hand, still clutching said spray bottle whilst liquid streams
down
my unglazed photograph. I explain that this was not a household surface
upon
which I wished her daughter to apply any more of this spray.
Legal question: am I liable for anything?
Other than thoughts of homicide.
Looked at against the light, the photo has surface damage. Nothing
compared
to my cardiac muscle. :-(
