Thanks - I’m fully aware of that, just not why that leads to vandalism!

Most likely because people keep telling the scum that do this that it's art, which it most certainly is not!

212, have you seen what the vandals scrawled on the RHS of the 206, or am I missing some other context?

I doubt the "CBS" is a reference to the broadcast company. Good news - they get to have the CO2 pellet guys come in to clean it off. It may be a sufficient exercise to leave the higher quality paint in place, but otherwise off to refresh the paint scheme.

More bothersome, security is so poor that not only did this happen, which takes time, it left open that plenty of other things could happen.

Most small airports have poor security. Just look at Sacramento Executive about a year and a half ago. Some guy damaged 4 helicopters trying to get into them, then finally got into a 429, started it and rolled it on its side.
