Yep, they do the same thing here with TV's. These dumb@$$ kids (and some adults) have no respect for anything! Most of them have never had to work for what they have, and, most of them look down on anything slightly obsolete. I'm sure they wouldn't like it if someone threw a hammer into their new LCD TV that Mommy and Daddy just bought for them. Wait a minute. Maybe they would not give a crap about that, either. Their parents would just buy them a new one! A friend of mine was all the time running idiots away from his trash pile at his TV shop because they always wanted to bust up the TV's on the spot and leave a mess. He always told them that either they take the whole set or leave it alone. I have a hard time finding UNTOUCHED sets at the dump; however, beat-to-death remains are always very easy to find. One of my high school (I graduated in '95) electronics classmates brought an early '70's hybrid 19" RCA portable that he wanted to sell me. I asked him where he found such an old set and he said that particular set replaced the one he shot. He told me that he came home from school one day and didn't like what was on TV; so, he shot it. He was even bragging and laughing about how glass, sparks, and smoke went everywhere. He said his dad even laughed about it. Had I done that to my TV; I would not have been able to sit down for a month. Also, there would have not been another TV sitting in the place of the blown up one. My parents were older and they always taught me to respect other people's property as well as my own. It was this type of respect that kept me from busting up piano's, TV's, or anything else of value. If I couldn't use it; I left it alone for the next guy.
