Perhaps, or maybe you guys were just cut from the b_b cloth and were untouchable? But from what you mention mk, it seems like pretty benign stuff.

Yeah, we also broke into some prof offices by going through the ceiling, but only left enigmatic notes. We were good kids.

Crazy thing though: Not long after our hi-jinks had ended, two kids from our high school were caught breaking into a candy machine by my friend's neighbor (a math prof) in one of the same buildings. These kids chased him down, beat him senseless with a pipe wrench, and left him for dead in the snow. He survive, but was brain damaged, and could never teach math again. The assholes were picked up soon after (for bragging about it), and sent to jail.

Fuck. I went to high school with his daughter. We never talked about it, but you could tell she had some depression issues. Shame. (She was super hot, too; unrelated, but just for the record).
