You haven't captured every motive for vandalism, but I agree with you that it's probably mostly transient. Kind of like how the people who go crazy with drugs & prostitution in Amsterdam (well with pot legalization I probably no longer have to travel quite so far to fetch this example, but anyway...) are mostly visitors for whom such a thing is novel. Most Dutch natives are pretty blasé about having access to those things.

I notice the Car2Go (or e.g. Zipcar) next-user reporting system depends on their knowing the identity of each user at every point in time. Which is presumably also true if you've used an app to hail or summon an autonomous vehicle... Still I guess I was nostalgically imagining something like the relative anonymity of today's cash-fare bus services. (Though even those are loaded up with surveillance cameras.)
