At the risk of sounding like an old dragon;
As for damages...what damages? Maybe a little cleanup would be necessary, but I doubt any of these ATMs were actually physically harmed by the prank(s). I will admit that it's a little bit irresponsible for the child to have actually done this internationally; but I suspect it wasn't the same kid. I doubt one kid could've traveled the world to fish-tape ATMs thousands of miles away; and instead this is a rather large "group" of kids doing this for the lulz, and they only caught the one kid and are trying to make an example of him. >_>
Agreed. While it's not very fish-friendly and a definite waste of food, this is not even kind of a big deal.
Low key though; taping a fish to a cop car isn't very classy and it only invites the cops to come after you instead of looking the other way.
