This could have been an accident, not malicious damage.<br>
<br>
When I was editing streets in my home suburb, mainly just adding in
street names, I needed to cut a street at a node because it changes its
name. Somewhere along the way, the street disappeared. When I edited it
(using Potlatch), the street was still there, but never showed up in
the rendered version. I tried making subtle changes to force it to save
the changes but to no avail. I eventually deleted the street entirely,
saved the change, and replaced the street (from Yahoo) a few hours
later. I suspect Potlatch may have some hidden bugs that only show up
under certain odd conditions.<br>
<br>
I've done a lot of editing (in Potlatch and JOSM) since then, and have
never had the same problem. It could be that the problem only occurs
when you do a few small changes, save them and wait to see the result -
just the sort of thing a novice user would do.<br>
