...Now the man who owns the century-old home is pursuing theft and vandalism charges against the 81-year-old billionaire, saying workers for Pickens came to the house recently without permission and removed the concrete slab with the well-known name.
David McCart, who bought the two-story, 17-room home in Holdenville nearly 20 years ago - partly because of Pickens' signature - said he went to the property to mow the grass on June 22 and noticed the 3-by-5-foot slab was missing.
"It's really the arrogance of it that bothers me," McCart said Tuesday. "They just cut the whole section out."
No wonder he thinks America is entitled to Iraqi oil. That's his whole mentality.
T. Boone Pickens Returns Concrete Slab

Accused thief and vandal (and energy investor) T. Boone Pickens has returned a concrete slab that his name engraved on it to the ranch where his guys took it from.
For those new to the story, the legendary oilman was recently accused of theft when he had some people working for him drive to his boyhood ranch and steal this slab of concrete, upon which he had engraved his name as a child.
While T. Boone certainly has the right to feel a sentimental attachment towards it, he has no actual right to the slab once the house has been sold -- assuming there isn't a specific rider.
The Oklahoman: Pickens had the concrete trucked to the city from his Texas ranch, where his crews moved it in early July...
