| | |  £50,000 worth of damage done to Hogwarts Express
It is being reported today that vandals, thought to be as young as 10, have caused £50,000 ($98,455.27) worth of damage to train carriages used in the Harry Potter films, which were being kept at West Coast Railway depot at the former Steamtown site in Carnforth. They apparently used hammers intended for emergencies to smash the windows. A gang of six were seen by locals as they ran off. Quote:
Patricia Marshall, managing director of West Coast Railway, said: "It will take at least a month to repair, because so much damage was caused."
It is thought the repair work might lead to people being laid off. Quote:
"It all depends how fast the repairs can be carried out," Mrs Marshall said. "If we can't meet our contract commitments then we might have to lose some employees.
"This isn't just material damage we are talking about – it's long lasting to the company."
A reward is being offered by the police for anyone who can help them with their enquiries as to what happened on March 10th.

Honestly, it's nothing impressive. Who do they think they are? It's immature and its childish, and its ridiculous! They seriously need to get a life, if they think it's a laugh to destroy a Steam Train.

Now, I must say, I think everyone's looking at the punishment of this offence all wrong. They are probably looking for a rise out of HP fans (working, isn't it?). And so, we must give them the ultimate punishment.
Remember how Filch always wanted to go back to the torture punishments? Well, there ya go. And we all know how much Snape lurves mudbloods and muggleborns. Yus! So, for punishment, one month's detention with each of these men from the wizarding world. I don't think they'll go breaking Hogwarts property again, do you?
'Nuff said.

I hope they catch the wee ****s! That reminds me of a story call The Pearl. These fishermen/pearl divers on a tropical island believed to kill a boat was worse than to kill a man. A boat can’t defend itself. A boat can’t heal itself. A boat has no sons to replace it.

Wow, I can't believe 10 year olds would do something like that. I hope people don't get laid off for it.
