CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – A vandal with a can of red spray paint has hit a new home going up in a scenic section of the city.
“No More McMansions,” one message said.
“Ticky Tacky,” said another.
Police they usually are called to construction sites for stolen tools or materials, but not this time.
“This is definitely someone who doesn’t want to see the neighborhood built up or anything along those lines,” said Sgt. Mike McGuire. “They removed a couple of signs to throw them in a Dumpster, but nothing was stolen.”
Another message sprayed on the unfinished home said: “Stop Suburban Sprawl.”
The three-bedroom house will be finished next month. Now, it’s a wooden skeleton, and covered with spray paint. Every window, all 13, and some doors are painted with Xs or squiggly lines.
A huge smiley face was painted on a big window above the front door.
A plumber who didn’t want to be identified discovered the damage.
“I couldn’t believe someone would do this,” he told the Concord Monitor. “It costs you money to put the windows in, and it costs you money to clean them up.”
