Vandals release three crocodiles in college admin office
August 22, 2016

DARWIN, Australia – Australian authorities are searching for four men who released saltwater crocodiles into a Northern Territory college on Sunday.

Surveillance video footage of the incident shows three crocodiles coming through an opening in the administrative offices of Taminmin College in Humpty Doo around 5 a.m., before three men with their shirts covering their faces follow behind them and trash the place, the local ABC radio station reports.

The largest of the animals was about six foot long, and all three were in poor condition when police arrived Monday with animal control officers to recover them.

Alas, no administrators seem to have been eaten.

Well - That's a whole lot worse than letting six skunks into the high-school cafeteria. Whoever that was muzzled them so they couldn't really hurt anyone...

How do you get a muzzle on a skunk, you might ask?

Well, I'm sure I don't know...  :whistle:

Mindless prank.

When I was in college many years ago, the head of the Financial Aid and Grants department had annoyed (of course!) a number of students.

Who took it upon themselves to steal the official's VW Beetle.  Stole it during working hours on a Friday; hid it somewhere, and Friday night got it up on the roof of the auditorium.  No one knew how.

College-kid pranks.  Everything from Panty Raids to Kent State, which was a lark until a few kids got wasted.

I wonder if the students needed a "safe space" to get over the trauma this created. :tongue2:

That happened here too - On top of the high school foyer - And it isn't too hard... All you need is a bonfire party with a whole bunch of redneck boys having a good time.. One of whom is the eldest son of a local crane company's owner... And who happens to know where the keys are down at the shop... All that's left is enough drunken revelry to come up with the idea - The hardest part of which is hiding the crane coming and going, and hiding the pad marks and tracks in front of the foyer...

Or something like that ... maybe :whistle:

And what's REALLY funny about that is that those same good ol boys would mostly also be in Auto Mech classes - And the solution to getting the VW down again involved nearly two weeks of Auto mech classes stopping everything and getting credit for hanging out on top of the foyer two hours a day, taking it apart, and then reassembling it at the Auto Mech shop.

It really COULD happen just that way  :shrug:

I forget how they got that damned thing off the auditorium roof.  I think they used a crane.

Since nobody fessed up, there was nobody to dun to pay the crane rental.  Which probably cost about what the old Beetle was worth...we tend to forget how cheap those things were, and how crude.  And how little they sold for in used-car lots.
