On the basis my local council couldn't keep the wheelchair lift outside
our library vandal-free[1], I can't see it lasting long. That and the
fact that they'd be quite nickable, if not as stairlifts, for the metal
alone.

[1]I am not a fan of medieval punishments but I would have to be held
back from dealing out some "blowtorch and pliers" justice to scum who
vandalise mobility aids.
