    Default Time to say no to Graffiti

    This is ridiculous, it's everywhere. The owner of the wine centre where I work???? every sale has a constant battle. He paints over it every time and the next day it's back. If he does it 3 days in a row it seems to stop for a while.

    How do we tackle it? What we are doing so far doesn't stem the tide.

    Suggestions?

    Heavy fines, imprisonment for repeat offenders?

    Rather than have the Ticket inspectors on trains blitzing the carriages for fare evaders have then lay in wait for the these vandals.

    Is it just lack of funding? To report it doesn't seem to help as by the time anyone shows up they are long gone.

    These guys are after fame, they have signatures, surely we can trace them.

    Rant Rant Rant,,,, Ahhh feel a bit better now.

    Graffiti-proof paint. It's expensive, but it works.

    Still like to catch the ones who do it, they have no respect for others rights. Wouldn't mind spending some of my tax dollars put them up for a while.

    The little old lady across the road from us when we lived in Sydney had a brand new roller door installed and the very next day it had been 'tagged'. They don't give a rats about other people's property. Crucifixion's too good for 'em. Nail 'em up. Nail 'em up I say!

    It's the roaring 2000's and it's their right to do whatever they want.

    That's how they've been taught. :mad:

    My place was tagged 4 times in 2 weeks, same tag, painted over everytime. I think I've finally won.
    I've also had three turds laid in my backyard including one in my grouting bucket. Only noticed when I used the grouting sponge.... which was used as a bottom wiper.

    If I was to catch the little pricks I'd spraypaint them black head to toe so they can see how big a PITA it is to get off!

    Cheers Pulse

    Well you will live in those crappy neighborhoods....

    I agree it is getting worse I am sure, I have had my car vandalized twice in the last 12 months, both times not causing huge amounts of damage, but it still cost me $500+ to fix it.

    Cops cant do anything about it, they know who did it, just cant prove it.

    Simple... you need a "peace maker"
    Just wait for them to start spraying and let them have it!

    1.2 million was bugeted for in Vic this year. They have a device called tripwire that alerts police. Hopefully the will make some inroads.

    I don't know why you are all getting in a tiz about this. I lived in inner city Sydney for 18 years, you just get used to it..no big deal I don't even notice it anymore, guess I've gone graffiti blind.
    Its 14 - 16 year old anouncing their arrival in our tribal society.

    Didn't you ever write your name in wet concrete or carve it into a tree when you were that age?
