That sucks. Some people have no respect for anything. It doesn't matter whether the boat was for an autistic girl or not (that just makes it worse) but how can anyone do something like that?

could not say it any better, its sad that ppl have to distroy others stuff. I cant say I have had anything like a boat or anything expencive like that distroyed, but I spent a good $80 for materials like wood and all that, my time and effort and planning to build a nice fort when I was 12-13 and was nice enough to shair it with the other kids in the neghboorhood. Granted I weas demanding and had a lock on the door so only I could enter and they could only when I was around, heh :cry: but anyways... one day I went into the woods to check up on the thing and noticed the roof had collapsed, and that their were many large rocks inside the fort on top of the collapsed roof (which could support 1 or 2 kids weighting about 100 pounds, these rocks were heavy and their were many of them.

I knew who did it, everyone I used to let play in the fort with me, they claimed a huge storm came thru and distroyed it. I was shocked that they would think I was that dumb, i may have been younger then some of those kids, but I was clearly not the dumbest.

heh... sorry to rant, and take over this post, when memories come up i get typing and b4 i realize it i wrote a book.

I wonder what motivates ppl to do such things... Ill never understand.

Frankly I couldn't give a damn what drives these idiots to do what they will, be it booze drugs or just plain idiocy. What I do give a damn about is people like that being caught and punished.

Maybe they vandalized it without knowing it was for an austistic kid?

Who cares why they did it, THAT they did it is warped enough. What makes these people tick? Idiots.

It doesn't matter if they knew or didn't, they should pay for it, I really feel bad for her, she and her family will have a hard time with her changing routine.

But we're giving an inordinate amount of sympathy only because the victim is autistic. That sounds like reverse racism.

It doesn't matter whether the user of the boat was autistic or not...
The fact that people would actually burn a boat is shallow minded, and up-right pathetic.
