It's a sad commentary on our society when the people forget that our property is the material manifestation of our human life and that stealing it is no different than taking away part of the owner's life itself.
We only exist on this Earth for a limited time and therefore our property is the extension of our labors consuming a portion of this limited time here, and taking property from others is another form of slavery.
Punishing vandals with death is definitely too harsh, but there should most certainly be a penalty more than a slap on the wrist for this type of behavior.
Erecting memorials to vandals is also an outrage.
