Not quite decades, but close. Similar story here with laptops and macbooks available from a loan locker system, access via scanning student/staff ID cards then entering a PIN.
Probably more like 25-28% physically damaged. Some rather disappointingly clearly deliberately done, not what you'd hope for at the University level.
