There is only one lesson for these kids force labor until everything is payed back, army style.

I don't know what the world has got into, it's a world wide phenomenon that kids behave bad, no respect for anyone and anything, and nothing is done about it.
Parents getting punished wenn they call their kids to oder.
Politicians just approve to get votes.
And the police is being laughed at.
People must start to realize that this development is the end of  or societies values a decay of western civilization.

Wenn I came from school I had to do a 10 month army service, for those who had no discipline and character learned it there the hard way.

  They thought they could get away with it....they were dumb.
They did not care....they have no feelings.

I just have difficulty believing that anyone is beyond reaching.  Maybe
we are at that point and life has to get mean again for people to be
afraid of the consequences of their actions and learn how their actions
hurt other folks, materially and emotionally.

Too much time on my hands,

With such a destructive mindset already instilled, I very much doubt they are capable of ever learning the skill-sets, nor mindsets necessary for any level of the creativity that they so callously destroyed.

Yes, their parents should be made co-responsible as well as their teachers and school boards, for they too share in the creation of these little monsters!

Same in NYC.  How about we let Arya Stark or the Hound have a go at them.
Barring that, I go with being forced to repay and rebuild, no matter how long
it takes.  I know they have indeterminate or 'open-ended' sentences in the UK,
so let them work till they drop.  Hit the parents too, for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Make an example of them.  No wrist-slap.  Hard work.  Seriously.  If they are
really young there is a slight chance they can be rehabbed and honest work is the
most essential part.  They are very lucky the authorities caught them instead of
the display builders - there might have been a beat-down. 

Fed up with trashy, destructive, and anarchistic behavior at any age,

The only good thing about this is the little B*St**DS have got bail so a visit to ask them not to do it again may be possible.

Really sorry for all those poor club members - such a waste! Our club stopped even having an open house years ago due to continued thefts and we even had 8-10 members present all the time so things are about the same everywhere sad to say.

Heartbreaking. Rod Stewart apparently donated £10,000 to help rebuild.

With cretins like these in the world, it could well happen to your collection while it is at home, when you are not!

I can only hope they cut the little bastards balls off before they released them, so they will never be able to reproduce their vile DNA within the gene pool !

Hard to believe isn't it Daniel? Seriously WTF is up with youths capable of doing this? Those photos show an absolute rampage.

Vandals trash Stamford model railway exhibition

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-48326572

Police have arrested 4 youths for this wanton destruction.

Unbelievable that anyone could do such a thing....and why?
