Graffiti and vandalism cause blight and create unnecessary expense for County residents and public entities. Aerosol spray paint and permanent marker pens are the main instruments used by individuals who perpetrate graffiti, and glass etching products are frequently misused to damage and deface property. Because these products are often stolen by persons who intend to use them illegally this chapter requires retail establishments in the unincorporated area of the County to secure these products to diminish theft.
