That would be the Indiana Transportation Museum for those wondering

Not the first time this group of people have trespassed at ITM.

Let hope these thugs are caught and prosecuted.

Listen, this makes me sick. I am nearing 75 years old, and have done my share of dirty restoration grunt work. Give me about 15 minutes with them, and they will never be able to walk or write their name again. This is a darn shame....but we allow it.

Yes, I've had enuf also. Catch them and we'll make sure their hands become good and calloused.

Cut off the index fingers of both hands.....

So what's the latest on the museum being forced to move? Reportedly, they had a deadline last month. Is it tied up in litigation?

So I contacted ITM and was told "The police said there was nothing they could do about it. So, further up the chain this goes.". Unfortunately the video I linked to has been removed and I didn't think so save it before hand. Looks like we found one of the guilty parties but they may get away scott free. BOO!

Boys and girls.....do you see something wrong here? We try so hard not to offend anyone, that the guilty go free, unpunished,to do it again.

The United States has the largest prison population in the world. It also has the second highest rate of incarceration (prisoners per population) in the world. Only Seychelles has a higher rate. Accordingly, I do not accept your claim that "We try so hard not to offend anyone."

It doesn't help that the US has seen a great decline in the average quality of its people. Staying out of jail is easy yet so many people are inept at life that incarceration is the only option. For profit television(less emphasis on learning, more emphasis on guilty pleasures) has something to do with this as well a breakdown in the family unit. Nobody has any plans or dreams, just got to feel good right now i.e. drugs and promiscuity. Until large numbers of people have their heads knocked together nothing is going to change.

What in the world does this have to do with anything.

LOL. Keystone is the number one offended person in all of trainorders.com.

Keystone's threats of physical violence to criminals and reflexive political bemoaning are about as useful as his other contributions to TrainOrders.

Maybe one day he'll post photos from his vast library instead of his insightful critique or send a donation to ITM to help them cover the costs of the vandalism.

You make it sound as if someone "allowed" this to happen. Crime happens, no allowance offered. I'm sure the vandals would be quaking with fear over the threat of being roughed up by a 75 year old.

Dear aehouse. There is very little use or dealing in drugs in Singapore, Malaysia. The penalty is death. THAT is the deterent to crime.
