I mean, "Why?"
Though count me among those who hope they are successful in catching the vandals who did this.

Let's see, two young men, late on New Year's Eve, in Key West.
Is it possible alcohol was involved?

Re: Key west famed buoy torched ..
But as I understand the story, this is not an actual nav aid, but a touristy thing on land. Still not a nice thing to do, but not in the category of nav aid desecration.

It's on land. So "not for navigation".

Re: Key west famed buoy torched ..
At the same time, it is in the form of a navigation aid, and it's public property. So I have no problem with however they would like to charge these young men.
Mostly, they should pay for the damage.
