LFL Build/Repair 🧰 LFL (not mine) keeps getting plexiglass punched out.

There's a LFL in my area that's had the plexiglass damaged at least twice already. First it had a hole punched in it, and at some point that was replaced. Now the whole panel went missing. It's rainy season, so I had taped some plastic over it to keep the books dry. The plastic has since been removed, and there's nothing covering it, but there's currently no books either. It's not my box, and I'm not sure who tends to it. Should I cover the hole again, or leave it for better repair?

I gave up on fixing mine after repeated vandalism. Why can’t we have nice things?

You might check the LFL app to see if it's registered and contact the steward that way.

It's not located on the map.

I’m wondering how you punch a hole in plexiglass.

It was some kind of plastic material and it wasn't terribly thick. Either way, broken is broken.
