I work security and one of the properties I patrol is always getting tagged up with graffiti. My team decided to place someone undercover in that property to catch the person or people in the act and call the police. My team chose me and I was at the property in a dark corner with my ranger. Unfortunately nothing occurred but me and my ranger were undercover!

Sweet! That must be a pretty fun job.

They say the fastest way to stop taggers it to remove the tag ASAP and eventually they see that their tag won't stay and they stop trying. Let me know if you need info on how to remove it... we have some great products at my work.

Well on Friday morning at 1 am I did some undercover work again at the same place. Nothing happened again except a CHP officer did a traffic stop on a vehicle on the property I was watching and he saw me (I was wearing a cover over my uniform) but he just nodded and drove by! Lol!

When i worked security, one of our new clients had problems with taggers, removing tags cost a lot in sandblasting contracts.

^^ Sandblasting is a thing of the past.. with all the regulations on tag removal the cost to remove it has decreased and the methods have changed.

Depends on the location. Seattle just happens to SUCK for that kind of thing. Out here, they still sand blast at times, but Montana doesn't have the highest problem with tagging lol

What do you do all night sitting in your truck? I think I'd get stupid bored lol

^^ A lot of people still sandblast 'cause they think it's environmentally friendly compared to chemicals and because they know it's a proven method. We have biodegradable chemicals that WORK... also chemicals in a wipe form that work well too.

We use those at the railroad, so I know it works. Just saying lol Personally I'd shoot taggers in the knee cap and make them clean it up lol

Well my team only has me watching the area for two hours. I just listen to music and relax. I think of it as relaxing and getting paid for it!
