Does you aparment complex have a large foreign community living there? It could just be a random attack.

Hope you find him, we'll administer justice the old British way, hung, drawn and quartered in front of a large crowd. There's no justice like angry mob justice.

I've never suffered any abuse like that, and I'm sorry to hear that you have. All I can say is that the person who did it must be one very sad pathetic individual with no outlook or prospect in life. Small and narrow minded springs to mind, and probably with an equally small and narrow penis to boot.

It's could be kids thinking it's funny. Have you got any in your building ?
My wife had a bit of 'set to' with a couple of 11/12 years olds in our apartments who were playing 'knock down ginger on our door' Unfortunately I wasn't there.
My wife, who's generally as quiet as a church mouse and wouldn't harm a fly, spoke to the mother who is the apartment manager, and as they walked away one of them said "Bitch, should be evicted"
A couple of days later 'Bitch' had been scratched on the bonnet of our car and 2 water-filled condoms tossed onto our balcony.
The mother has agreed to pay for the repairs with the help of a bit of persuasion regarding her job, her employers and the fact that her son is running riot.
I'm still waiting for her to get the kids to come and take the condoms away.
She has until tomorrow before I call the Police.
Talking to a neighbour it turns out that the main trouble maker had been kicked out of school and is on his way to one of those kids camps (junior prison thing)
He better not come near us in the interim period.
Forgot to mention, these are white kids, so nothing racial.
Can't do what I'd like to do and give the little shit a good kicking !

Actually I feel that was pretty rude NC....and a bit catty. Anyway, naive? No, I don't think so, as you may know, perhaps not....different states have different attitudes to different things. I actually like living in Washington, or my little part of it, its a bit more liberal than perhaps Tampa, Florida. Certainly more so than probably Alabama, Texas or even maybe South Dakota.

Hmmm and yes I think I referred to ignorance worldwide as well....

I'm just glad I live a couple of thousand miles away at the moment.

The Wrath of God on nicotine withdrawal is not a pretty sight, I'm sure.

I could always write "Romanes eunt domus" on the rest of the walls and see if anyone gets the joke.

Er no, they won't. You could always write it on FatBrit's door, but he's in Arizona so not very practical.

There's no room, I'm afraid. Already has Futue te et ipsum caballum scrawled in red paint across the whole area.

Oh OK. Google is my friend. Next time I'd buy a plane ticket though. Much faster than a horse.
