What Gives: Graffiti on Grand view?
More Graffiti problems on Grand View Street
once again, homes on Grand View Street are starting to be defaced with inane, juvenile graffiti messages. the last rash of this happened last fall through Dec 2007, and affected pretty much every home on the block. the same message throughout: DTS. these letters were scrawled across my home last night, and this hasn't been the first time this has happened.
now, I'm pretty sure this is the work of stupid kids who have nothing better to do other than to prove their "worth" by defacing private property. somehow it makes them feel tough and strong. psychological profiles aside, this has to be stopped. several reports have been filed late last year requesting increased patrol, or some sort of action taken by the police in the district, and even the police had claimed they knew who it was. if this isn't enough to stop the defacing of property in our otherwise peaceful and beautiful neighborhood, then what's next to feel more secure in our homes? should we form neighborhood watches and posses? rope up the bad guys like an old western? i mean, c'mon, this is getting ridiculous.
something needs to be done. I feel like all the immediate attention is given to neighborhoods like those right off Brown University and in Wayland Square. I never really see the same level of attention given to our community. what gives?
