Hong Kong protesters leave money for soda they took from LegCo fridge; photos viral

On Monday, the 22nd anniversary of Hong Kong's handover to China, anger spilt over as groups of mostly young, hardline protesters, breached the legislative council and created a ruckus, spraying graffiti over the walls. But apparently made sure they pay for drinks they took from a fridge inside the building.

Unverified pictures of the incident are going viral on social media which shows money inside the fridge and a message saying "we are not thieves."

But other scenes of protests were not so polite and peaceful, protesters hung Hong Kong's colonial-era flag in the debating chamber, scrawled messages such as "Hong Kong is not China" on walls, and defaced the city's seal with spray-paint.

Police charged into the building shortly after midnight to retake control.

The legislature was closed Tuesday, as police collected evidence from the debris-strewn building, while workers swept surrounding areas littered with shattered glass, broken umbrellas and hard hats.
