$114,000 worth of damage?

Props to the Pittsburgh police for catching this guy.  I find this interesting because one, all powerful Google thinks I am interested in graffiti and put this on my feed.  Secondly, he's a university student.  I am curious what Carnegie Mellon will do to him.  As well, he would not fit the stereotype of a graffiti person tagging things for a gang.  Hopefully now the Philly police can catch the vandalizers here.  Would you make this guy reimburse the city?

I am beginning to see a few tags repeat themselves... maybe they can used to catch them.

As an update from some of the graffiti I posted last week, the city got to a number of them within four days.

Monday February 1

This one is from the church parking lot by my synagogue on Lombard between 5th and 6th.  Apparently the parking lot attracts folks and of course no one reports the damage done.

The side of dry cleaners on 11th and Pine (wonderful owners - even though I moved twice, I stayed with them!).  I told them about it and they said no one came by to fix it so I offered to submit it to the city.

Saw this at 10th and Washington on way home from Target.

Thursday February 4

5th and South.  I actually stopped my car to get out and take a picture of this gate.

3rd and Fitzwater - on way to highway.  Also on this corner was a newspaper bin with graffiti.

18th and Washington on way home early (for the dentist!).  I've been seeing this for a while but was never able to get a good picture of it.  Cars were usually blocking it but was fortunate (?) to be stopped at a red light.

I had a dentist appointment at 16th and Walnut today.  I usually drive down 16th to take my wife to Suburban Station.  I usually don't see a lot.  Walking found a lot.  To get home I took 17th and cut across Fitzwater. Some things I had to skip otherwise I would be late to the appointment!  There is still a lot of work to be done in the city.

Check out the Verizon one... I've seen that one for a while.  Why wouldn't they clean that themselves?



So any street requests?  Any thoughts to share?
