We just pulled this article from the Associated Press. It goes on to talk about how small town is "falling victim" to a rash of sticker graffiti (or slap-tagging). We're thinking this sounds more like an urban art project.....although, one man's art is another man's vandalism. Who knows?

Wis police, residents, say stickers are graffiti
Associated Press: 6:54 PM CDT, August 16, 2008
APPLETON, Wis. - The mysterious stickers might be a prank or an advertisement for art, but Appleton police and some residents say the colorful dots are unwanted graffiti.
Hundreds of orange and white dots have appeared on light poles, fire hydrants and other downtown surfaces. Each has the words "art object" plus a price ranging from one cent to $10,000.
No one has taken responsibility for the stickers.
Police Lt. Steve Elliott says putting stickers on public or private objects without the owner's consent violates city ordinances.
Residents say the stickers leave a sticky residue that's hard to clean.
A city attorney says anyone caught putting up the stickers could face fines, court costs and cleanup costs.
