We have a bunch of private little free libraries in our neighbourhood, they get smashed and burned periodically but people just put ‘em right back up.
Cost of doing culture I guess.

Yeah in BCN they put up stands with free phone chargers on the streets, but within a couple of weeks I think all the cables had been snapped/ripped out.
The fail was more:
"The booth is ventilated and at its inauguration was said to be both vandal- and graffiti-proof." -
We had one by the marina when I lived on the water - most of the time it was used really well, but occasionally most of the books would get thrown into the water. We eventually found out the culprit was the local alcoholic crack-fiend. He was usually lovely, but could be a handful when on a binge.
