Has IPD not heard of trail cams? Seems that a few simple devices at known target areas would help deter the insane folks who do this damage.
except it wouldnt matter. i watched a guy tag one of the concrete planters on the commons during the ithaca festival with hundreds of people walking by and no one said a word.
