Hearing some second and third hand accounts of UK legal system I think they will get nothing of that sort.

I bit myself in the tongue...

Never understood vandalism, never will. I can only imagine the anger the modelers must feel right now.

All we can hope is maybe it will happen to the ones that did it and see how they like the feeling...….or....some old testament retribution from the creator!

That would be a very good way to deal with this kind of behaviour. If only it could be implemented.

Too true. Not much will happen unless the Chief Constable decides the publicity would be worthwhile. Sad reality.

That's way to close to old school biblical law for it to be acceptable in modern society.

This doesn't happen in modeling only.
Years ago some kids from Rapid City thought it would be funny to go up and destroy
a part of the Crazy Horse Monument. Set them back a lot. I don't think it will be done
in my lifetime.

Read today that Rod Stewart has donated £10,000 to the guys.

Read this earlier today over at Large Scale Central forum for G scale model trains. The strength and violence of my emotion and feelings surprised me; had some delightfully brutal vengeful fantasies. If I were to want to throw away my own model trains that would be one thing, destroying someone else's is a different thing.
