Our house was "tagged" sometime the evening of November 12, with black spray paint. We believe strongly that such nonsense should never see the light of day, so as soon as the rain abated, we attempted to cover it up with paint -- black is not easy to cover, so we'll probably have to repaint the entire wall.

The same night that we noticed the tag, around 9:30 PM, we saw two teenage boys loitering on the SE corner of 18th and Newton, right by Bancroft. Since our house is right by that corner, I don't doubt those kids had something to do with it. They were standing side by side, as if to keep watch over the corner -- I have heard from neighbors that there is an active drug trade going on around Bancroft at night.

There has to be some way to crack down on this kind of delinquency -- it's a serious safety issue. I hate that our house was tagged as if it were gang territory -- are they really that rampant in MtP?
