[Ancientartifacts] Guide to Responsible Collecting - Working on Point (8)

This is what we've got so far. What do you think about (a) the main wording:

(8) Dispose of items responsibly
Do your best to ensure that none of the above guidelines are infringed by the way you
dispose of your objects.
Pass on all documentation with each item.
Give an honest description of any repairs or restoration.
If you unknowingly acquire a fake, the best practice would be to return it to the vendor. If
you are unable to return it, dispose of it with consideration so that it can not be used to
deceive again.
Promote responsible custodianship to the new owner.

and (b) the FAQs:

possible FAQ: What if you can't return it?
If you believe it was sold to you with the deliberate intention to deceive, report the
incident to the police.
possible FAQ: How can a fake be marked? . . . some sort of permanent marking . . . UV
pen?

PS I'm going to Brussels tomorrow (see some of you there!) so I may need to do some
catching up when I get back.
