Motivations for vandalism (as distinguished from hooliganism and random humor) range from a psychopathological need for attention to a profound and deep-rooted hatred of everything. In short, the world is full of asshats. Some people would have you believe that trolls and vandals are interested in recognition and infamy. This is not true. Most of these people (if people is indeed the correct word) are really just crying inside. They don't care what we think of them: they just wish to take their frustration out on the nearest available punchbag.
