Reporting Graffiti and Vandalism

Editor's Note: This will most likely be the last time I post photos of graffiti that I spot around town. Patch is not in the business of showcasing vandalism. Instead, I want to point out the tools you can use to report it and/or stop it.

It may be a stretch to say that or "tagging" are major issues in the Lutherville-Timonium area, based on my observations of weekly crime reports. (If I'm wrong, please let me know in the comments section.)

However, while taking a drive last week, I noticed two rather large eye-sores within five minutes driving of one another. 

The first (see photo above) I spotted on Interstate 83 on the sound barrier wall, which appears to have been tagged multiple times by different parties. The second mural I spotted on the side of — a decorative home furnishing store. 

Allow me to introduce you to the neighborhood awareness program iWatch.

The  and is designed primarily as a tool for reporting suspicious activity, according to the county website. However, iWatch can and should be used for non-emergencies that need to be reported around our communities. You can also contact the Baltimore County Police Department, Precinct 7 Cockeysville at 410-887-1820.
