One resident, 48-year-old car dealership owner Mr Hu, told the Chinese daily that he discovered the vandalism on Sunday and was shocked to see that almost the entire carpark had been defaced with graffiti depicting patterns and words such as “painful,” “sad,” “remorse,” “love me, don’t go.” “This is “Art” and such.
The vandals had even spray-painted “Catch me if u can,” “Catch us, I wish you good luck!” and “Come and catch us” seemingly to provoke the police.
Disturbed, Mr Hu has taken to parking his car in a crowded area, afraid that the vandals might begin striking vehicles.
