Lake Tahoe residents are sick of all the tacky graffiti scrawled and scratched on the area's beautiful rocks and some of them are fighting back.
ABC 7 reports on a Facebook group called the Tahoe Vandalism Removal Squad (!) whose sole mission is to eradicate the existence and proliferation of these blights.

Back in 2011, the Lake Tahoe News published an article titled, "Surge in graffiti adding to South Tahoe’s rundown look." And now in 2017, there's a whole squad of sweet Tahoe bros trying to solve the problem. Behold their mission:
Memorial Day weekend kicks off tourist season in Lake Tahoe (and everywhere else in America). Please leave your Sharpees at home, vandals.
