Just caught this one today.

A company called Graffiti Tracker Inc. provides GPS and Internet technology to assist government officials in researching and analyzing graffiti markings before they are removed.

As a result, vandals can be linked to more than one drawing and ultimately be prosecuted for several vandalism violations at once.

Founder Tim Kephart said Indio police will receive this free system on a trial basis for one year.

“I’m very excited about this opportunity,” said Kephart. “The Indio police departments are motivated hard chargers who will act on the intelligence we’re providing. There is actual evidence that these messages can be decoded, but they must be documented before they are painted over.”
