My "neighborhood" is a street that leads into the university campus made up of 8 or so apartment complexes on either side of the road. Most of the people that live in my complex and the ones around me are students, or families w/o kids, or maybe 1 or 2 very young kids (there is also an elementary school across the street).
However, in the last few days we have had a string of "taggings" on buildings and signs up and down the street. This has gotten concerning, because it started with one sort of tag, which I cant read or understand, but I can recognize. It starts with an "M" and the word, if it can be called that, looks sort of like it might be "Muuy" or something.
Then, it seems as if someone else came along, sprayed over it trying to cover it up, and then wrote another string of letters next to, or below it.
Then, the first person or people came along, covered up THAT one, and replaced their original tag in even bigger letters.
So what is going on? This part of town isnt exactly known for gang activity, being on the northern tip of the city, with that sort of thing relegated mostly to the south side.
However, there is no reason to say that any gangs might not be trying to expand their territory into my neighborhood, etc.
On the other hand, it might just be some dumb wanabe kids, with tagging the extent of their illicit enterprise.
Any LEOs or savvy individuals have an tips on how to tell the difference between the two?
I am thinking of calling SAPD and asking them if they know whats up.
