Defacing public property is something that has been a problem for as far as back as I can remember, and as funny as some of the scenarios can be, it's also a crime, and we need to keep that in mind. Nobody should be defacing public property.

A friend Paul Tracy recently spotted the T-Shirt Factory and it was apparent that it had been vandalized. We searched for info about the crime, but couldn't find any further info on who defaced the sign, or when and where it occurred, but we assume that it happened sometime last week. See the picture of the defaced business sign below.

*UPDATE: We've been sent an updated photo of the sign outside The Shirt Factory in Kingston and it appears that the sign has still not been fixed. It's a two-sided sign, so the vandal or vandals were reportedly lazy, only hitting one side. Let's hope whoever is responsible for this crime is apprehended. Lock 'em up!
