I think you are all overracting. Its a kid with some imagination beyond the
original intended purpose of the toy. IMO, and I could be totally wrong, I
would suspect that it was the work of a 13-14 year-old having some fun with old
toys. Now, those of you that have never:
- blown up anything up with a firecracker
- pulled the arms off your sisters dolls (or defaced it in any other way)
- pulled the wheels off your brothers trucks (or defaced it in any other way)
- pulled your cat by the tail
- pulled your dog by the tail
- basically destroyed one of your toys experimenting with tools (toy or adult)
- set any plastic toy on fire to see how it would burn
- painted one of your toys
..feel free to be repulsed.
I've seen infinitely worse garbage at garage sales. Beheaded dolls, blown-up
trucks, stuffed animals with fingernail polish, rusty Erector sets, battery
operated toys corroded by battery leakage, etc.
