Vandalism.

Very sorry to see that tickler. If you catch 'em, make the cowards do community boat service and listen to the consequences of what they've done... then string the b**tards up on piano wire... and I won't say which parts they should hang from...

Originally posted by turnturtle That sucks... really sucks.  What sucks even more is that they'll get away with it, even if they're caught, they'll still get away with it. Forget prison, forget community service; instead take away possessions from their domicile (including all family members if necessary) auction it to raise enough money to pay you back and pay the taxpayer back for the costs of administration. Maybe if Daddy can't watch the big fight tonight because the 40" Sony 3D television & Sky Box has been collected by the old bill, then he'll knock some sense into Little Johnny instead...

That totally sucks!  When my rig was stolen, from a byte c2, they not only stole the rig, but cut all of the control lines.  But burning the boat... ...

Totally agree with the above.

Can't add anything more, really. I would call the perpetrators 'brain-dead morons' ....but that would assume that there was at least one brain involved that could actually be declared as dead.

Our club is quite concealed and a few miles from the nearest housing estate. We do have minor vandalism but usually in the summer. Why on a wet, cold night some yobs decided to walk a couple of miles and do that escapes me. Houses in the immediate vicinity are pretty expensive and are occupied by older families, like me, so not many kids about. Fencing would be difficult and with the site being so private they would have all the time in the world to cut through it. We have no mains power so ccty is unavailable. We are buggered really unless someone knows of cordless cameras?
