Property damage (or cf. criminal damage in England and Wales) is damage or destruction of real or tangible personal property, caused by negligence, willful destruction, or act of nature.
It is similar to vandalism and arson (destroying property with fire), property damage includes vandalizing property that people own, while causing more physical damage and high costs. It can also be a synonym or term under these categories.
Sub types of property damage are malicious destruction of property (sometimes called destruction of property or simply destruction) which is towards real property, and damage to property is towards tangible personal property.
