I was based in Singapore (hence the SINGpilot) when the vandal keyed the cars. This was a PITA American kid that had been in trouble with the Sing Police on several incidents before. They used 'kid gloves' on his prior acting out, because he was a foreigner, and the son of a low-level diplomat. His parents finally asked the police to treat him as an adult, as he would have been treated as a citizen of the Republic.
It was only the ACLU and the liberal press in the States that protested his punishment. The local Embassy and Consular staff (who knew the entire story) agreed with the local authorities.
He got what he had coming, and was long overdue.
