And imagine if someone deliberately wrecked a Picasso or a Le Mans winning D-Type Jag? Would that be OK because they are just a painting and an old car?
Please tell me I'm not the only one who read that and thought who cares about a Citroen Picasso before realising what you actually meant.It doesn't really matter what someone does whilst behaving like a

It's the imposition on everyone else!
You do whatever you want to to your stuff or person, in your own space and time that doesn't affect me or anyone else.
However ruining something which isn't yours so that I and everyone else can no longer benefit from, means I and everyone else has every right to feel annoyed.
Given he's ruined it for everyone else for the rest of time, I think it's only fair that anyone who's bothered should have a say on his fate.
I think he should have to spend every Sunday from now until he dies (less a couple for holidays I'm not a monster) standing (or sitting) in the gap.
We could all go an take a photo with him!

Off topic really, but my 6 year old daughter asked me why people spray paint the other day because she saw graffiti.
I've just seen this place that does great things for adults with profound learning disabilities has had their vans and a new place see windows smashed in.
Hopefully it's mostly perspective being skewed by social media but it feels a bit like trying to make the world a better place is an impossible battle.
The only positive I've seen in the last week is some guy called Harvey handing out sweets from a motorbike. So he's probably going to turn out to be a wrongun.

There is a family tree joke here surely. "It will have them completely stumped. What they need is someone who saw it otherwise they will end up barking up the wrong tree, someone must have seen them lumbering up that hill with heavy plant. The person who did it must have a real chip on his shoulder and an axe to grind. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they will never twig who did it. I will bow down to them if they do. Its a terrible thing to happen and will be keeping a log of what happens now. I wood go on but better leaves it there. Make the bstard walk the plank.
