I remember when I was a chalkie in WA kids would come into school with a pocketful of badges. Sell and swap them to their mates, collect them, some even had the cheek to offer them for sale to me! There was even a "carpark spares" industry where people would order items like wheel trims (expensive!) and the thieves would go out and procure them. Over in Tassie it doesn't seem to be a problem Well, vandalism seems generally well below mainland rates where I live. Be careful belting up kids! If they don't get you for assault, they'll spin a yarn that you molested them and then you're in trouble!
