Talking Just a thought from across the pond

I know this will not make you feel any better, but as an ex-pat living in TX, it is comforting to know that this type of crime over here, is a federal crime, for which you WILL get time in a state Penitentiary :-

U.S. Code, Title 18

Section 32. Destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities

(a) Whoever willfully -
(1) sets fire to, damages, destroys, disables, or wrecks any
aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United
States or any civil aircraft used, operated, or employed in
interstate, overseas, or foreign air commerce;
......

shall be fined under this title and imprisoned not more than twenty years or both.

Ouch!

Good luck finding the d**k h***s and the loss adjusters.
