Yeah but this is the University of Waterloo we're talking about here. This hit Canadian mainstream media CTV News so I know that. Also for an university specializing in Engineering and Mathematics there's a shit ton of cameras around

Also, I'm not sure if this is the same in Canada as the US, but I'm pretty sure that in many cases, vandalism is considered a much lesser crime than unauthorized computer tampering/hacking
