A beefier fence would help.

Nothing short of razor wire will stop vandals on a mission. And even then...Steve B wrote:A beefier fence would help.

True. The South Shore car at the NYC Museum in downtown Elkhart was tagged a few years ago. Cretins have also stripped some of the equipment off of the car for scrap. It is the last car inside the fence at the far end of the museum property, but the fence isn't decorative.

That car also had most of the windows knocked out of it, only to be replaced and had more knocked out. Vandals don't care unless they succeed at destroying whatever they can get their hands on.justalurker66 wrote:True.
