Famous attraction tumbles to the ground due to cold hearted vandals

Have you ever heard of T. Rex’s toppling to the ground in this day of age? Well on April 8, 2007, the famous orange T. Rex got toppled to the ground by cold hearted vandals.
This famous attraction for this miniature golf course has stood tall since 1960. Kids of all ages have gone to the course to admire this wonderful attraction.
Although the T. Rex was toppled to the ground, it will still recover from its current injury and rise again. However, this will mean that the owner will have to pay for lifting the huge dinosaur up with a crane and repairing the “broken bones” the dinosaur experienced.
So why would somebody vandalize such a wonderful thing on Easter Sunday? It is not uncommon for this vandalism to occur.
Ever since Pembroke High School has begun completing the high school, people find it necessary to vandalize the school. Why would people vandalize something that is getting completed for them? For example, students find it “cool” to urinate all over the bathroom walls. Another common thing is writing inappropriate messages on the walls. Well needed money is getting wasted on trying to repair the vandalized material.
So what do faculty members do to try to decrease the amount of vandalism? Teachers can’t be at every area of the school at every moment. One way to decrease the frequent vandalism is by installing video cameras in areas that are targeted for vandalism. Another solution is setting up a system where students can leave messages with information that they have.
Hopefully people will realize how many people they are hurting when they vandalize. These solutions will be a baby step to eliminating vandalism but it will be a start.
