Yea, that is nonsense. While the law says “Anyone who unlawfully damages or destroys another person’s property is liable to a custodial sentence not exceeding two years or a monetary penalty.” this basically never happens. He likely will get a small fine (if any).
Do actually get the 2 years you would have to do some very serious damage. As example a couple of years ago someone got 2 years (on probation) because he set fire to the restaurant he was working on.
You won’t be locked up here for 2 years because you drilled a few holes in the wall…
2 years is insane for what seems like a harmless prank though. It′s maybe an issue with how law is defined, similar to stories when you become a sex offender by doing public urination. Perhaps those 2 drill holes are similar to ″unrepairable damage to historic object″.
Fired and a possible jail time for an amusing stunt?
100 clams to patch and paint two drill holes?! Are they hiring?
Only if you market your skills as artisanal work

like it’s not usual to remodel rooms in museum
but I guess they have to discourage people from doing it before it becomes a trend

up to 2 years, I really doubt the judge will actually give any jailtime
You know it’s some asshole artist on the wall who complained that his art “devalued” his in some way and demanded retribution.
Next time, use command strips or similar.
