While the joke may seem harmless to some, it’s creating headaches—and expenses—for the city.
Over the past few weeks, a mysterious vandal has been sticking googly eyes on everything from statues to street signs. At first glance, it seems like fun and games, but the city says the damage isn’t as innocent as it looks. Removing the adhesives without harming the art has racked up a bill of at least $1,500.
The situation got so out of hand that the city made a public plea on social media, urging the prankster to put the googly eyes away. In the post, officials wrote, “The googly eyes placed on the various art pieces around town might give you a chuckle, [but] it costs money to remove them with care to not damage the art. Let’s avoid adhesives, graffiti, and all things that can damage the art.”
Maybe we could invite the vandals to move to Washington D.C.?
