Friday was a pretty good day for the owner-operator of Music Line in the Gänsemarkt. He sold some stuff and spent the evening relaxing with friends. When he woke up Saturday morning, his show window was in pieces and four guitars and a mixing board were gone.
Idiots come in all shapes, sizes, and national origins. This group was probably stumbling home from the Palace of Stupidity (otherwise known as Go Parc) when the combination of a trash can and a big window proved too much of a temptation for their small brains. I say small brains because they took what was at hand rather than risk another twenty seconds of bravado and collect the three to four times more valuable stuff a little farther behind, but then again, it may be they can't read, either, since everything in the window was marked clearly with its value.
Loud, drunken behaviour comes with youth, but vandalism, theft, and viciousness comes with environment. You find it everywhere, from North and South America to the cities of Europe and Asia. I suppose it's a little less pronounced at the Poles and in the underdeveloped nations where there's not that much to steal. Once again, the problem of education versus family values. You cannot teach a pig to fly.
