Here where I work (Melbourne Uni, Medical bldg) on one of the walls in the
foyer are mounted some of the long desk tops from one of the original
lecture theaters in the Uni.  They are full of carved in graffiti from the
early 20th century, mounted as a curio.  I guess what it is showing is
nothing really changes, only the technology makes it easier today

OTOH, we (steamrail) recently suffered a graffiti attack on the Goulburn
car.  One day we will catch someone at it, and if they are reallly lucky,
we'll call the police!!!!
