ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Vandals

So, you know how sometimes people break things or draw on things that don't belong to them? That's called vandalism. It's like when you color on the walls with markers or crayons even though you're not supposed to. But some people do much worse things like breaking windows or spray painting graffiti on buildings.

Vandals think it's fun to do these things, but it's actually wrong and it can hurt other people. It's like if you drew on your friend's artwork without asking, they wouldn't be very happy. The same thing happens when vandals damage or ruin other people's things. Plus, it's against the law and you can get in big trouble if you get caught!

Bottom line: Vandalism is when people break or damage things that don't belong to them, and it's not okay.
