Suspicious Graffiti
Discussion
Hello PH,
I wonder if anybody can shed some light on a piece of graffiti that was painted outside the door to my flat. The letters 'PWITS' have been drawn on with what looks like marker rather than spray paint (it has leaked and dribbled down the side of the wall). It was done between 8pm and 10pm last week.
Here's the interesting bits:
- The 'S' is stylised as '$'
- PWITS is (according to Google) an acronym for 'Possession with Intent to Supply'
Two people live in my building: Me (incredibly innocent, never had any run-ins with the law, really quite boring) and a sixty-something woman whom is largely the same as me. Therefore I'm a bit confused as to what warranted this piece of decorative art. I have reported it to the police and they were extremely helpful and called back (to my surprise) but said they had no grounds for suspicion of anything sinister, and no way to investigate it. Basically, clean it up myself. Which I understand being in London.
If there are any ex/current graffiti artists/ knowledgeable policeman among PH who could tell me if I have had a price put on my life by some underworld gang, or if there is an up-and-coming graffiti artist named 'PWIT$' who simply liked the look of my wall. Thank you.

You probably have a very, very stupid wanna be dealer graffiti kid living somewhere near you
Don't worry
That's what I thought, the annoying thing is though, it's not very impressive artistically. I mean... if you're going to do some graffiti, make it good. Thanks all other posters!Don't worry
