Vandalism can be officially sanctioned.

In the 1970s when I started in the TV rental trade, the management seemed paranoid about us doing private jobs (Foreigners aka Homers).

Sets that had been written off were piled up in the back yard of the depot, and the Regional Manager would visit each week armed with a hammer, and personally neck all the tubes and smash every PCB, rendering them useless even for parts.
Thorn 700/800/850/900 and many others.
