Sure, but there is no need to try to be a policemen or a juridical person either
There really are people who enjoy spraying obscenities on other people's walls and Web sites. If you know how to stop them from wanting that,
First make "them" stop cluttering the surroundings with "legal" advertisement and the graffity <sp?> problem will vanish soon after :)
you should publish the technique, preferably in a peer-reviewed journal so it will receive wide circulation. In the meantime, we repaint walls, buy paint-resistant subway cars, and otherwise prevent and deal with vandalism.
Vandalism is something different -- vandalism is destroying cities by building road where drivers are "free" to drive fast and killing children (we Germans are great in this sport ;-((( ). Or vandalism is spoiling oceans with oil.
[Of course, touching foreign walls or windows isn't legal! But as long as you try to fight against the kids it's you who will be the looser.]
[I must check wikipedias what they tell us about vandalism ;) ]
