Vandalism is a very serious crime. It is a violation of Penal Code Section 594. A person can be found guilty of vandalism if he or she maliciously defaces property with "graffiti or other inscribed material" or damages or destroys the real or personal property of another. Vandalism can be a felony or misdemeanor, depending on the dollar amount of the damage done and the existence or non-existence of a prior criminal record.
