It's lucky for Saline the insurance companies can't redline like they used to.

Vandalism, not art. Nip it in the bud. He says he got into it recently. Clean it up and go find something productive to do.

The destruction of other people's property needs to be dealt with harshly. This practice of spray painting tags on buildings has become all too common. If the penalties were severe, maybe a second thought would occur before the act commences.
