Even in my neighborhood, which presents more opportunities to catch someone doing graffiti than most, I've never caught anyone in the act. LA seems to be the place that has the most elaborate designs on freeway overpasses etc and I too often wonder how someone gets up there and then has the time to do such detailed work. The other day I was taking the kids to school when I turned the corner by our neighborhood park and saw that someone had painted the male genitalia (a true graffiti classic!!) on one of the rocks in front of the park. I didn't say anything and wondered if the kids would notice. Trevor did not, but Sarah did, and it was a bit amusing to hear her reaction and ensuing explanation of what she saw to Trevor. Of course, they were both somewhat disappointed to see that it was painted over by the time we came back past there later that afternoon! Very good point Mark!
