Technically, they're vandals. They vandalized someone else's property. The motive doesn't change that fact.

- anigbrowl 9y agoTechnically, they committed criminal mischief and theft, maybe other crimes. 'Vandalism' isn't a legal term, but rather a lay characterization of a kind of criminal damage. It's also associated with casual destruction/damage of property rather than criminal enrichment. Motivation matters a lot in criminal law.
