Graffiti

Graffiti is the act of marking a structure, building, vehicle, or property (including a tree), or any part of, using spray paint, a marker pen or any implement designed or modified to produce a mark that cannot be easily removed by wiping or by using water or detergent. Its prevention and removal is very costly.

It is important to report graffiti as quickly as possible, as it's easier to remove it in the first 24 hours from when it occurs.
