Cory Harris allegedly signs the letters "CUR" on his graffiti, according to Atlanta police.

Cory Harris, 21, of Stone Mountain, remained in the DeKalb County jail Thursday.
If your idea of fun includes spray-painting trains, government property and other things that don’t belong to you, I have one suggestion. Don’t sign your work.
You are not an artist, you are a vandal if you decide to destroy things with scribble. But a 21-year-old DeKalb County man was apparently so proud of his work, he added his personal moniker to his designs. And now, he’s linked to at least 70 acts of vandalism in the city of Atlanta alone, police said Thursday.
Cory Sherard Harris was arrested Sept. 11 by APD officers who spotted him “tagging” train cars in the CSX rail yard near Seaboard Avenue, according to Carlos Campos, police spokesman. Harris had markers and was found near 15 train cars which all had fresh logos featuring the letters “CUR,” police said.
Investigators conducted a search of his home, where they found more evidence linking Harris to the “CUR” moniker, Campos said. Harris is now facing charges, including multiple felonies, in both DeKalb and Fulton counties.
Turns out, many unsolved and unclaimed acts of graffiti vandalism are now being linked to Harris, according to police. They don’t have crayons in jail, right?

This case illustrates how prolific and damaging even a single graffiti vandal can be. Graffiti laws are important to teach this person a lesson by imposing meaningful penalties. But what about the graffiti vandals who aren’t caught? You don”t have to be a graffiti expert or consultant to see that we need to do more graffiti prevention. As noted at http://www.DefacingAmerica.com , we don’t have an art problem. We need to reach out to kids before they get engaged in graffiti tags and vandalism.

All of you have had nothing but negetive to say about this young man. A bad mistake yes, that as one of you said he shoud be made to paint over along with all the rest of the other (by the way you can’t send him back to the hood, he never grew up there). This young man comes from a good up bringing and family he’s a former college, somewhat quiet, he’s donated countless hours to volunteering his time with underpriveledge youth. Do I know this young man personally, I do. Once again a bad mistake he made, Yes. Just as I’m sure each of you have your fair share of you own. Give this young man a chance to correct his mistakes.
