It is disastrous to see colleges, schools and kindergartens being targeted by thieves and vandals. I suggest these institutions invest in concealed infra red video cameras and recording equipment linked to movement sensors. The costs of these systems are very reasonable today. Lowered insurance premiums should cover these costs quickly. While it will not stop the low lives from stealing, at least their identification will be easier to establish. These pictures could then feature in both the print edition and the on line edition. Some people will be able to recognize the low lives and be able to name them. Name and shame would probably be the biggest deterrent for these criminals.
