It is vandalism, though writers consider it art (well, usually - not so much gangs!). So, if you're doing some graf on something that doesn't belong to you, it's bad. Go crazy on your own property.
It's punished by a fine and/or community service, and if you're an adult, possibly jail time. It all depends on where you're located. Most of the time you'll get a fine and community service, I think, because they want to make sure you've learned, and it does cost money to repair damage.

What if a total stranger were to spray paint words or 'artwork' on your house, your car, or in your room without your permission? Would you think it was cool or would you be angry that they spray painted your property?
