Apr 04, 2008 11:12 pm - Why does Australian vandalism seem so quaint? Let me tell you what would have been different if that house were in the United States:
1. There’d be no computer or kitchen appliances, that’s for damn sure. Those would have been exchanged for crack cocaine.
2. The bathtub would have been filled to overflowing with the urine and/or shit of the trolls that ransacked the place.
3. The walls would not be intact. Someone would have kicked the gypsum wallboard in and stolen the copper plumbing within. In parts of Cleveland, Ohio, they might not even wait for you to abandon your house and move out before barging in to loot your copper plumbing.
4. Anything that can be broken will have been broken. Why were there so many windows intact?
5. Anything combustible will have been burned, all the better to keep warm on a frigid winter’s night.
That house is in almost as good condition as mine when I moved in years ago.

A r 07, 2008 7:25 am - 5* but i have to agree there really is not much vandalism compared to what that house would look like if it were in the US or UK.
I second everything that H-dogg said cos i would do all of that (including the bathtub bit if i were drunk/stoned or both).
But here in the UK 10 years ago before it was near to the point of falling down it would have about 15+ bums squatting in there, today the bums would be there for about a year, then some development company would give the town mayor a bribe and a blowjob to gain owner ship of a plot of land with a famous listed building on it, knock it down and plonk an ugly block of flats on top of it, within minutes the housing association will buy every flat on the plot and in just a few weeks the flat will be filled with filthy layabout chavs leeching off the government and generally turning what was a nice area into ’the bad part of town’.
