"I still think its strange, and also kind of creepy," Carmen Washington, one of the victims of this "Porn"-penning person — possibly a bored teen — with no respect for property rights, told the station. "Because the word that was written on there, you don't know what you're dealing with."

Washington told WTVF residents of the complex have installed security cameras to catch the suspect, possibly a bored teen.
