Is that vandal a miles and points blogger? I remember hearing a guy joke -- or so I hope it was a joke and nothing more -- about taking a rodent to release in a hotel room to photograph and then use that to ask for the hotel to provide compensation/refund. This was back in the day when it would be physical film in cameras that would need development (if it weren't like an instant Polaroid or like that), and I don't think he ever did that. But even then I knew not to be surprised about the possibility for scummy behavior from even supposedly reputable parties seeking to maximize their own position, and I figured that maturity may not mean the same thing for everyone.
