Photo credit: Christopher Roberts Here we see a simple blue Sharpie--and judging by the whimsy of the "i," written by a female--used to express affection for another person or, though it's doubtful, the Muni train itself.

Yeah, we could hardly believe the headline ourselves. Do people have no shame? We missed this one, but yesterday Mayor Gavin Newsom's town car was vandalized by a parolee. Outside Newsom's Russian Hill apartment, Gregory Burgos, 41, was sauntering down the road, saw le Gav's shiny black car along with the two officers inside it (assigned to protect the Mayor), pulled out a sharp object of sorts, and scraped it along the side of......
