wow, what a drag.

our space here at columbia is very open during dorkbot. if someone were 
to vandalize or steal something (and there are lots of toys around) i 
would be very upset and would feel pretty betrayed; as alex mentioned, 
these things take a lot of energy to run, and it's pretty disturbing to 
thing that someone would come to a free event the sole purpose of which 
is to support the local community and then leave a turd as a thank you.

that said, i'd hate to think that the fools who did it have the power to 
damage something as nice as dorkbot-london.

of course, State51 is also a donated commercial space, and alex has more 
than just dorkbot to think about.
