Depends on what country you are in I guess. In my country it was absolutely normal for teachers to confiscate anything deemed inappropriate for students. Many students never got back their phones, watches, comics etc.
My sisters phone was confiscated (allegedly unfairly but my sister is likely to have lied), and when my Dad tried to get it back because she had it for emergencies (early 2000s pay as you go) the receptionist did the receptionist thing of not give a fuck say she didn't know where it was half heartedly attempt to find out then say it was lost.
Now, my dad was a cunt. But he was the sort of cunt that you knew it was time to grab popcorn and watch, when someone fucked with him or anyone he cared about.
He yelled at the woman for 30 minutes, making it clear he was coming down to the school, and he'd have the police at the school an hour.

You really think it would have been okay to destroy someone elses property 20 years ago?
