Sure, but there is no need to try to be a policemen or a juridical
person either

First make "them" stop cluttering the surroundings with "legal"
advertisement and the graffity <sp?> problem will vanish soon after :)

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 ;) ]
