Glass

I read somewhere that the reason Seattle bus shelters have such beautiful glass artwork is to prevent vandalism. They used to have plain sheets of glass, but vandals would scratch grafitti on them. Now the glass already has pictures, so the vandals don't use it.

I think it's interesting that something so pretty could be the solution to something so ugly.

Apparently, no one has chosen to break it as well, maybe because it is very tough?
 
I've never noticed the plain sheets of glass getting broken, either.
 
Well, don't leave your car along a street for long, because the vandals will break all its glass almost overnight.
