Hasenkox said he and his co-workers thought they heard 91裸聊视频渂irds on the roof91裸聊视频� before they ventured outside and discovered the crude graffiti.

Overall, he91裸聊视频檚 growing tired with the seemingly never-ending stream of vagrant and delinquent behaviour in the area surrounding his business.

Hasenkox said he91裸聊视频檚 just going to have to put up with the graffiti on his store for now until he91裸聊视频檚 able to remove it.
91裸聊视频淩ight now we91裸聊视频檙e in a tough spot because it91裸聊视频檚 too cold to paint and we91裸聊视频檇 need a cherry picker to get up there,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e trying to keep things reasonable but it91裸聊视频檚 just gotten worse and worse over the years.
91裸聊视频淎s time goes on I91裸聊视频檝e become less and less sympathetic because it91裸聊视频檚 costing more and more.91裸聊视频�
