This happened to me in highschool in the 90s too. There were several Mac laptops available for students to check out of the library, on one occasion someone changed all the desktop icons on one of them to little piles of shit. I was an immediate suspect because I brought my own laptop to school and people had seen me using a terminal. For some reason they didn't think to look at the list of people who had actually checked out the "hacked" laptop, which obviously didn't include me. My fate was sealed when they asked to see my school-issued floppy disk and found a picture of a mushroom cloud on it (part of a hypercard presentation on environmental destruction). I ended up getting a 3 day suspension and being barred from using the school laptops that I had never used anyway.
