On the local news it is reported that the Aldeburgh LB station has been trashed. The boat and launching gear is untouched, the collection box and tea kitty taken and looking on tv the station is in a terrible mess.
If they catch these a’holes would like to see them being given a big shovel and told to move a couple of thousand tons of gravel from one end of the beach to the other.

As a firm believer in Karma, if the thieves are caught then put them in a small boat fifty miles offshore in the first available howling gale with a radio tuned to the local coastguard and, when they call for help tell them that help is not available as the lifeboat station has been trashed by vandals.

... or alternatively, take them out on a few rough weather rescues - with spew buckets around their necks - so that it brings home to them the enormity of their foolishness!

PS... film the whole episode and drop them off about a half mile from land, so they can swim home...

Now that Aldeburgh is totally up scale is this a case of original local youths bored and in need of beer/drug money and we don't care or new import youths bringing their privilege and we are special and don't care what we do?
Now that the temporary residents must outnumber the originals is this a sign of things to come. Southwold next maybe?

I am Lifeboat Operations Manager at Aldeburgh. Thankfully they did not touch the boat or any of the equipment. We had just emptied the collection boxes and banked the proceeds so they got nothing there. Our Tea and Coffee Kitty was taken along with £80 in change that we had prepared for the shop. The damage was quite considerable. Locked desks were smashed open and a storage area door was kicked in along with the window that was broken.
Local people have been most generous and we would like to thank everyone for their support.
