If you can't beat them, join them and spray paint. Kotakuite Bartek reports that a local pawnshop in his hometown of Lodz, Poland hired a local graffiti artist to paint its outside decor. Seems local thugs had been painting defacing the building. The result? A greenish UFO color and the girl from the Vice City box. Bartek explains:

The blue sign over the door on the left says 'Lombard' (pawnshop) and 'Pozyczki' (loans). The barely visible red text on the left says 'Akcesoria' (accessories, probably for the portable phones). Red writings visible in the center read 'Zloto' (gold) and 'Sim-lock' (they will take the simlock off there, probably they specialise in mobile phones - it looks like the kind of shop where you go to sell a mobile phone which you, ahem, accidentally found on the street).

It's like Grand Theft Auto, but real. And Polish. Brian Ashcraft
