The war on trailer graffiti

The war on trailer graffiti
6/23/08
Quote:
TORONTO -- David Contant is a big proponent of free speech and freedom of expression. And like so many others, he appreciates art.

But the Burlington, Ont.,-based trucker was far from amused recently when he discovered that a budding artiste decided his truck would be the an ideal canvas for a cryptic message delivered via a can of spray paint.
Contant is the latest trucker to be victimized by so-called graffiti artists who have decided that tractor-trailers, cube vans and other large vehicles make for ideal targets when it comes to displaying their horrendous handiwork.

Indeed, whereas graffiti was once confined to downtown back alleys and the odd railroad car, a growing trend has emerged wherein vandals are turning their attention to the world of wheels.
