Witnessed yesterday around lunchtime a graffiti artist/vandal tagging the tram bridge across the railway between Balgreen & Broomhouse.
She was working in broad daylight(!) on the path and seemed to be painting a car radiator grill onto the path side of the bridge fence/parapet (which is solid grey steel). She was copying a design from a book which she had open at the page as I passed.
She was stocky/large build, in her late 30s/40s with dark shoulder length hair. She had a blue/white striped reuseable bag containing the spraypaints and a black mountain bike/BSO with speckles of white paint on it.
The bike, of course, was the perfect getaway vehicle. No polis on foot or in a car would've been able to catch her, as she would've just cycled off down the path. A polis on bike, however, would have easily caught her, although I suspect that catching these people doesn't actually stop them.
What probably does stop them is the fact that (amazingly) the Trams people had cleaned off the 'work' the same day - as I went past today to take a picture, but it had gone!
Oh and her tag was 'WOMAN', sprayed through a stencil.
