Seriously.  This thread is full of calls for extreme punishment.  Sounds like a severe case of ADHD. Most graffiti artists have it.  Yeah, sure it's a crime - defacing the old locomotive, but it's non violent.  Extensive community service will do.  Why waste our tax dollars on incarceration for this kid when we have repeat violent offenders roaming the streets.  Btw, while I appreciate Mike Anderson's gesture, but ten grand for a weeks labor, painting no less, is laughable.  Two painters, 5 days, $1000 apiece per day.  Wow.  5 days to do the job is quite the stretch as well.
