They reached in through the top and broke off a bunch of hammers along the shank and twisted and broke a bunch of butt flanges in the process, as well. It's a schwander type action so they didn't break any of the hammer butts with the plates, but just the flanges. Most of this stuff is pretty straight forward.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p> </div> <div> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size: 12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p> </div> <div> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size: 12.0pt'>However, they also took permanent marker and wrote on every single white keytop.
