Hasenkox said he and his co-workers thought they heard 香蕉视频直播渂irds on the roof香蕉视频直播� before they ventured outside and discovered the crude graffiti.
香蕉视频直播淭he sad part is people don香蕉视频直播檛 think of the consequences when they do this. It香蕉视频直播檚 hard enough to own a business at this time,香蕉视频直播� Hasenkox said.
He estimates it will cost $5,000.
