most of these people try to leave everything undisturbed, even if its already thrashed.

they get a mixed reception, often lenience when they come totally clean about what theyre doing, and it becomes apparent theyre not vandals or squatters.

there was a group that went into the tailrace of a famous generation plant, im sure they would do time if they were caught in there.
