I suspect my response would get me banned and put on some watch list. The scrots are out on bail, may they trip awkwardly down some stairs.

Horribly tragically sad.

So sorry for the club.

Words fail me at the utter mindlessness of such destruction.

How do you motivate yourself to rebuild a layout after that and if you did I cannot imagine it would be shown in public for the enjoyment of others again.

May the culprits be severely punished, but I doubt that that will happen.

The sad thing is that others who might want to exhibit their work will be put off doing so in light of this. I was a secondary teacher for 30 years and know full well that the vast majority of kids would never do this, but it just takes a few mindless idiots to inflict such misery. My heart goes out to the owners of the destroyed exhibits, it must be devastating to see ones work treated in such a barbaric way.

As has been said the perpetrators will probably get no more than a slap on the wrist and given a few hours community service.

They are not ‘fools’, they are morons!

Hiring some extra security guards around the clock for events like this where exhibits are left overnight would seem to be in order from now on. Shame it happened, deeply sorry for the modelers whose work was destroyed.

My late father was a Vicar. If he were alive, I am sure that he would happily marry their parents.

My heart bleeds for those whose work has been destroyed for mindless pleasure, by idiots who are incapable of producing such work.

This sort of thing explains why we have to concentrate on security at any of our exhibitions, no matter how small.

With our P S M E exhibit coming up at the Park Farm Thorney, Farm Open Day, I am happy that our barn will be locked when I leave in the evening, and stay that way until next morning.

+1 for Baz's suggestion. Such as discussed in the "not the night clock news" episode years back. So they can't breed more mindless degenerates.

Only when the parents of these mindless thugs are made to pay for every last penny of the damage, and all of them are named and shamed will we start to see any change. This needs to be done for all such acts before parents everywhere start to teach their offspring respect for other peoples property. No release on bail, bread and water until they are sent to gaol.

Dek.

My anger is directed not just to the verminous scum that have done this but to the "leaders" and lawmakers of our country who encourage this anti social filth by insufficient punishment wherever and whenever it happens.

A very sad Rik
