Chichibu Anime Tourism Executive committee said that about fifty flags of AnoHana, which had been displayed in the shopping districts, were also stolen. One of the committee members said "AnoHana fans I saw were all polite and had good manners. I don't think those are offenses by the fans, but please don't take them away for fun."

Since they aren't fans or otaku, I say we go crucible at the vile thief or thieves who stole the pictures. The culprits need to be taught a lesson.
What s/he said.
Stealing art dedicated to a wonderful Anime is one thing, but... From a shrine? Really? REALLY?

It's probably some old person who tired of Anime being decorated across their town or some really crazed fan who wanted it a souvenir. Maybe worse a foreigner who thought it was free for keeps. I don't know....
But yea stealing from a Shrine is not good.
Stealing from a shrine invites off the scale amounts of bad karma.

I'm pretty sure they're priceless and serve only as a memento/tribute to AnoHana.
If any of them were really fans of AnoHana or anime in general, they wouldn't have done this unless they were seriously stupid.
