Several sidewalks and curbs were recently hit by taggers at Stevenson Ranch Parkway and Stafford Canyon. As the photos indicate, spray paint was used to scroll some illegible words across about thirty feet of sidewalk. On the curb opposite the sidewalk vandalism was an another message directed towards police.
Was this the work of local kids bored on a Holiday weekend or was it a message from some gangsters passing through? Either way it is a blight on our community. If the vandals are ever caught they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law so others will know the consequences. Too often, if the vandals are children of local residents, parents just open the checkbook and take care of the matter by throwing money at it. That is a disservice to the child and the community.
This unsightly vandalism hurts the entire neighborhood and needs to be cleaned up quickly. Hopefully, this graffiti will be cleaned up quickly by the County Department of Public Works.
