SIR: I am writing to say that I think vandalism of any kind is totally disgraceful. How can people destroy property which doesn't even belong to them? How can they cause so much distress to others?

School vandalism costs people a lot of money and schools cannot afford to spend money on windows and doors which have been vandalised by selfish people. This money should be spent on books and other school equipment. Most children want to learn and go to a nice school, so why should a selfish minded minority spoil it for them?
