Vandals removed all the train seats in this carriage and stacked 'em gently

Maybe it's public art?

You need a "DGAF" attitude to start vandalising public property, but whoever did this is on a whole new level of ennui.

A train carriage near Sydney, Australia had its seats pulled off, then stacked so they perfectly blocked one end of a train's exit. Now that's boredom.

The sight was discovered by commuter Steve Mateer on Tuesday night, who also scratched his head at who possibly had the time to create such a scene.

"It must've taken them 10-15 minutes to do the whole thing," he told 7 News. "With stations about five minutes apart, I don't know how they did that."

"It was bewildering, it was surprising," he added. "I looked at the guy behind me, and he was equally as shocked as I was."

Mateer said station staff weren't happy when he started snapping photos of the wreck, telling him and another passenger to stop before moving them to another carriage. His description is pretty entertaining.

Vandals these days.
