There you go.

LOL, I didn't do anything. I just wanted to know. Btw, vgm007, are you sure that is vandalism? I pictured vanadlism as basically sneaking into someone else's home and doing it without the owner knowing. Are you sure that's what it is?hydralisk86

Um...yes. I thought everyone knew that. Unless it's your own property, then it's a crime.Travo_basic

You destroy my property, and get ready to be sued, because I want to be compensated.Benjamin-T

tsk tsk..... *taps ruler on the desk*

Remember See Rule #2

[QUOTE="DivergeUnify"][QUOTE="hydralisk86"] I see, but what if that person was destroying his/her parent's property, while he/she is living there? Are the rules different there?Benjamin-T

[QUOTE="Benjamin-T"][QUOTE="DivergeUnify"] he's not the legal owner of the house. It's up to the parents on what they want to do, I suppose.DivergeUnify

Unless they trick you into destroying their property, then sue you :shock:

The parents could bring up charges against him if they wanted to. But the state won't do anything to him.

[QUOTE="Benjamin-T"] If the child's under 18, nothing the parents can do but to punish the brat. 18 and older, even if you live with your parents, you can legally be sued.hydralisk86

If its not your stuff, you will either have to pay or replace what you vandalised. A specialist will decide if you have some issues, and then they'll go somewhere from there.
