Vandalism and its rewards

[balzaccom]

Remember that idiot who thought it would be fun to leave her mark on national parks around the West?


Well, we're not sure she got what was coming to her---but they did catch up with her and she is sentenced to 200 hours of community service, two years probation, and a clean-up fee yet to be determined at a later hearing.


Here's the clip from ABC news: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/ ... s-39831883

I had blissfully forgotten about her. Grrg..... it still makes my blood boil. Probably the most maddening thing to me, is I wonder if she even "get's it" and is remorseful for more than getting caught.

An interesting thing about this case is that readers of the website Modern Hiker helped the Forest Service track him down:

After which Andre had his lawyer send Modern Hiker a threatening letter:
