Vandals trash hundreds of boxes of Girl Scout cookies

Vandals broke into the garage at a Monroe home on Sunday, possibly looking for money. When they didn't find any, they poured paint and oil everywhere, including all over boxes of Girl Scout cookies.

"It's heartbreaking," said Dee Brown, who is "cookie mom" for two Girl Scout troops.

"They just generally destroyed the place," said Jeff Brown. "My kid's telescope, tools ... $2,500 in cookies."

that belongs to another for themselves. I don't understand vandalism. What satisfaction does a person get from destroying they property of others?
