'Promposal' vandal who defaced Colorado National Monument sought by National Park Service

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-orlando-police-officer-shot-0611-story.html








If there's one place a teenager or young adult should not scribble down words of affection, it's on federally protected land.

Unfortunately, whoever took black spray paint to the Colorado National Monument last month apparently didn't get the memo, and the National Park Service is trying to find the vandal responsible.

A local who lives nearby was the first to report the damage caused by the "promposal" — a term ascribed to a creative invitation to a high school prom — on May 23. On Saturday, the monument posted a few photos of the vandalism on Facebook, asking followers to contact the park's visitor center with any information.


The park tries to take care of any vandalism within 24 hours of receiving a report, as Ranger Operations Supervisor for the city of Boulder Geoff Jasper told local Fox31. The process is "meticulous," so as to not degrade the natural features of the park.
