http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080429/NEWS01/804290349 Funny you should make a thread about graffiti, I just read this story about one of the biggest graffiti writers in my area (who also went to a nearby school) being caught and charged with so many counts of vandalism and damages up to half a million.
I honestly like graffiti, but the defacing of public property (and the outrageous amount of writers without talent) just putting their name everywhere pisses me off. There's like 10 shitty/mediocre tags for every outstanding one. I mean, boxcars and abandoned buildings aren't a big deal, but when they tag people's houses or local businesses - that's just gay. Almost as gay as taking pictures of your work so you can upload to Facebook and Myspace lookin' for props.
