. . . to Queensland Rail's commuter equipment (the capital of Queensland is Brisbane).
A guerrila team of expert "taggers" tackled the trainsets head-on and they went from shiny to paint-smeared in record time.
Even more interesting, this group were not the usual ruffians but security people out to make a point about how lax the security was (is) surrounding the QR yards at night.
Proving a point dramatically? Or workers trying to increase demand for their own job category?
Here's the link. Clip runs about 5 mins. w/ brief commercial at beginning:

I missed the part about them being security people out to make a point. Where do they say that? They keep saying they don't know who did it.
I may have read too much into the narrator's description of the carefully organized team.
In which case, I am left wondering whose ox is being gored?
And why the local police or QR security didn't summons the press for aiding and abetting by knowing exactly when and where the team would show up and then (the media) showing the crooks breaking into the yard? (Although it was fairly easy, it seems).
Tagging is usually a solitary occupation done at night. This seems more like deliberate civil disobedience, but still I am wondering why the effort if the trains were clean to begin with?? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
