Cottonwood Heights Mayor Weichers,
One clarification I need to offer:
The pole in the photo I e-mailed to you on March 27 is connected to a traffic light at the cited street intersection in your city.
New Cottonwood Heights resident John Kevin McMillan.

You are very welcome, Mayor Weichers. I hope that my March 27 crime report (farther below) proves to be helpful to your city government here in Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
It is a great honor for me to be residing in your prestigious and friendly Salt Lake County city. I will strive to contribute on a year-round basis to public safety in your city through reports I offer on the telephone or write and submit during my leisuretime to your first-rate city government.

Dear City of Cottonwood Heights officials,
This morning at about 8 a.m. Mountain Time I photo-documented for you this crime evidence of alleged vandalism and alleged criminal mischief from illegal graffiti on a street light pole owned and operated by the City Government of Cottonwood Heights.
The graffiti is on a pole in front of a Zions Bank location at the intersection of Fort Union Boulevard and Highland Drive in Cottonwood Heights.
It is possible that crime evidence of this type in front of a bank may also comprise a federal offense. The placement of the graffiti at this specific location, accompanied by the scathing hostility of the message ("RAt Junk" or "RAt Dunk" ) in this graffiti, conveys a deplorable possibly anarchist contempt toward any and all banking institutions in American society.
Thank you in advance for your very kind willingness to investigate and press criminal-law charges against any and all individuals who allegedly had any role in perpetration of these crimes in your highly-regarded city.
former Texas DPS full-time employee and New Utahn John Kevin McMillan....
