The same people that keep ripping off the fire safety instructions in the lift in our building and who keep violently jumping on the steps of metro escalators until they break and who keep kicking street lamps until they turn off and who keep cutting the seats on trains.
What is wrong with your street lamps that kicking them turns them off? I've seen lamps taken out by cars that still run if the bulb survived and the wires didn't rip.
Idk. It does take effort and usually a few tries but I've done it myself in my younger, stupider years.
Those are all low effort, instant things with essentially 0 risk. Unlike trying to break the roof of a parking lot. I have actually only once heard of someone smashing solar panels and those were on the ground.
These aren't just roofs though. Throw some rocks up there and you've already done damage.
I'm not saying we shouldn't put solar panels over parking lots but I can see the risk of drunk idiots at night having ideas.
I'm imagining spray painted dicks graffitied all over those solar panels because where there are drunk idiots there will be graffitied dicks
Where do you live? I haven't seen anything like that here, even though we do still have vandalism. I don't think it's a good idea to generalize from the sorry state of things in your area.
Cologne and a handful of other places in Germany.
I live in Germany, too and have never seen or heard of that kind of vandalism. So, very localized issue.
Or maybe you live in a very localised bubble of non-idiots :)
