I think we all go through the stage of arguing on the internet just to argue. I've been past that for a long time now and I, too, am much more interested in solutions and providing\gaining information these days.
The camera idea is a good one, but why not just get people in the mindset that if they accidentally cause damage, they take responsibility for it.
You know, the light is less than $30 so it isn't about the money. It's about working your tail off to finally be able to get to the water, you've put in a lot of time and effort to be successful at what you are about to do on the water, you come down to put the plan in play and someone has messed with your stuff. Luckily, in my case, Larry, the guide that is a few slips down from me, saw the light was out. I had told him to watch it. He saw the light was out and put another one in it's place. I didn't even know the glass was busted out until I went to leave. I always put two out but the second one isn't as powerful as the first. I plan to fix that soon. That way one can go out and there is still light.

Anyway, I hope this can best explain my point of view on all this..
