The Mister was in the garage when he heard the spray can. Far from just being too close with his project, a fine gentleman was in fact making our garage his billboard. He was unrepentant. Seems he has a young niece living in the Apartments of Doom across the alley and claims they also house a child molester. His plan was to spray-paint "F*#$ child molesters" on our garage; everyone knows that graffiti scares child predators straight. Sadly, The Mister interrupted him, so now it just says "F*#$ child".

Out of all the properties on my block, the AoD is the only one to have declined. There was a buff guy in the classic uniform of wife-beater with gold chains who seemed to be in charge. I actually got along pretty well with him, and it gave me a chuckle when he would call to his two tiny chihuahuas, Princess and Precious. Unfortunately, he disappeared a few months ago, murdered in a hotel room in another state. I expect he was involved in extra-legal activities, probably pot, and things weren't exactly great under his lead, but without him things have gotten very bad. Open IV drug use/deals, syringes, fights, garbage and broken down cars, and now graffiti for the first time in ever. I know it's 'ever' because that garage had NO paint on it at all.

The security cameras are going up today, and I looked up the owner of the property. Long past time for step one: a certified letter. Wish me luck!

It sounds super scary how out of control the place is. Good luck with the letter and getting some owner responsibility.

Thanks! Just painted over the graffiti today. It's like it was never there.

Just writing the letter has been very therapeutic. Fortunately the cameras seem to have made a big improvement.
