Damn Commies, always trying to make a buck

Today’s dose of irony, from the UK Guardian…
One of the most notorious murder weapons in modern history, the ice-pick that killed Leon Trotsky, appears to have been found, 65 years after it was apparently stolen from the Mexican police.
The daughter of a former secret service agent claims she has the steel mountaineering instrument, which is stained with the blood of the Russian revolutionary.
…
Trotsky’s grandson Seva Volkov, who lived with his grandfather at the time and still lives in Mexico, is willing to provide samples for a DNA test against the blood on the handle only if Salas donates the pick to the museum in the house where the murder took place.But she said: “I am looking for some financial benefit. I think something as historically important at this should be worth something, no?”

I read this article… and could do nothing but shake my head.
Well… all I have to say to Ms. Ana Alicia Salas is:
Why on earth are you still sitting on that ice-pick?!?! If you wanted to cash in on it, then you should have brought it forward back in 2002 when Salma Hayek did that “Frida” film. You probably could have eBay’ed it at the time, and you could have probably found more than a few potential buyers to fight over it for the sheer novelty alone.
In the future… remember to pick you moment.
