Prime Targets Of Graffiti
Graffiti is a form of painting that defaces property that does not belong to the painter. It can be harmless, such as kids writing slogans on a bathroom wall, or it can be a threat of violence that is eventually carried out and meant to instill fear. Either way, graffiti is an illegal activity and any surface area free from constant vigilance can be a prime target for graffiti.
Trains as Targets of Graffiti
One of the biggest prime targets of graffiti are subway trains or elevated trains that are parked in areas overnight. They are easy targets for graffiti spray cans and paint that can be used to adhere to metal. In many cities, it is hard to find city trains that have not been victimized by graffiti.
Abandoned Buildings as Targets of Graffiti
Another big target for graffiti is an abandoned building. Any building that does not have tenants and is not closely watched can be a target for graffiti. Because they do not want to get caught defacing public property, graffiti artists usually will target abandoned buildings that are not under the watchful eye of the public.
