Is TOX back?

wrote:
Much as one detests the low-life scum in question, I think it's been
apparent for quite some time that the "TOX" tag has developed a life of
its own, and it is highly unlikely that the convicted waste-of-space is
guilty of all its manifestations. In a way, it had become the "KILLROY
WAS HERE" of the 21st Century....

I'd say that most, possibly all, of the TOX tags are fake. Last year, a
guy came to do some work in our garden and he'd written 'TOX 05' in the
dirt on the back of his van (he admitted he'd done it for a laugh,
instead of 'clean me'). Why do people write comments on their own dirty
vehicles?! (At least this made me smile).

Recently, with the cold mornings, my local bus shelters have been full
of condensation, and I've 'written' TOX06 on them for a laugh. Even
took photos, so I expect I'll have my own ASBO soon!

Kings Cross has been obliterated and more appears each week, so someone
is going back regularly to 'finish off' what they've started before.
TOXIC and HOST is everywhere. I've seen enough of the older ones to
know that some are not in the same style, but many do look genuine. I
suspect TOX is back, at least in some places, and will simply argue
that someone is copying him when the police inevitably knock on his
door (as they must have done already). Sadly, even though he may be
known, they still need proof.
