Thank you.

Strange...I wrote essentially trhe same thing last night, but my comment isn't here.
Cities all over the country are plagued by grafitti vandals.
The dome of the beautiful historic Hibernia Bank building in the Tenderloin was vandalized last week by a crew that has blighted Oakland. "The U.S. spends over $25 Billion annually just on graffiti abatement."
