This could have been an accident, not malicious damage. 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. 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.
