Defaced

We have an art exhibit of 26 silver-surfer-without-the-surfboard statues in a public park here. And we have a 13 year old local tagger - a spray paint vandal - who decorated 18 of the statues with his special insignia.



Great quote from the story in the Sun-Times:

'"What these taggers don’t realize is that it is a lot easier to get caught,” O’Neill said. “Police can look up the graffiti through a database and match it to a person."'

Basically, he was signing his name.
I guess he won a sort of fame.
But now the tagger is tagged,
and snagged.
