I'd like to hear, in the not too distant future, that the four youths have all developed cancer.

That would cheer me up.
Chain them up and slowly lower them into vat of carborane acid.

Much better.

Someone will make excuses, oh someone already has, but the truth is that there is no punishment that is allowed that is suitable. They need to be given a lot of community work and their parents made to pay.

Harsh but until parents start instilling values and decency and making sure they know what their kids are doing, then we will continue having things like this happen.

A lot of people look down their nose at those whose hobbies are railways or model making but they are skilled dedicated people who deserve better than this

My thoughts exactly. Vandals have no discernible motive, cause misery and expense for their victims and gain nothing for themselves via their actions. If the death penalty was brought back and I was in charge vandals would be first in the line. Utter, pointless wastes of oxygen.

I build models so know and understand that, in the media, for many years people like us have been laughed at and ridiculed. This is what happens when you engender such attitudes.

Despite that, I would rather talk to these lads (assuming it was lads) and try to get to know what was going through their minds to decide this would be a fun thing to do. I certainly wouldn't advocate killing them, as one poster seems to be suggesting.

What purpose would be served by a cosy little chat with vermin like this?

They would just laugh in your face.

"The youths were released on Saturday evening on conditional bail pending further inquiries. "

F*ck that, remand the sh*ts for starters.
Cut their fking hands off seems to be a reasonable response.

This is awful, absolutely awful.

I thought Stamford was quite a well to do place. Fairly local to me and sometimes head over there for the mid lent funfair model show.

Will be interesting to see what punishment is handed out. I guess it won't deter them. They should be named and as part of their punishment, made to stand in front of the people they have affected and apologise.

The model makes should then be allowed to treat them like they have treated their work.

And that is exactly why these things happen.

Talking to them, will achieve nothing. Yeah they may grow out of it but why take the chance.
They laugh at weakness.

I am not normally one for a fundraising page after a crime but in this situation I would gladly chuck 20 quid at the model railway club if it helps them rebuild faster.

Some may. Others may not. There are often ringleaders who are indeed evil little scrotes - possibly with psychotic tendencies. But often the rest are "followers" who can be worked on.

Maybe watch them stamp on all of YOUR models, see if that boils your piss enough to club them to death.

their motive I assume was "having a laugh" just a bit of fun and the like. The kids won't have considered thoes who built the models put huge amounts of time and effort into thoes and not small sums of money. They simply don't give a st because a) they are going b) likely have no social or moral fibre.

My feeling the best legal recluse make their parents accountable for the full cost.

To be succeeded by other people doing similar things.

So we should kill them?!

Hell, if the death penalty doesn't stop people murdering, why would it stop this?

I do wonder what the parents of these vandals will think / do when they are informed of their offsprings actions. If either of my kids did something similar I genuinely think I’d disown them as I don’t believe I could stand to be in the same room as them knowing what they had done.

It would certainly stop these animals from doing it again.
