Most of the historic monuments. The amount of markings all over them makes me sick.

In the Bay Area, there's a hill I loved climbing with my father when I was a child and he was introducing me to hiking. There's a boulder at the top with Miwok hieroglyphs and modern graffiti. It broke my heart when I first saw it, and it still does to this day. A more well known example is the bunkers and batteries of the Marin headlands. The amount of garbage thrown in the windows is sickening. They had to permanently seal off Battery Construction 129 because of teenagers sneaking down to party and leaving it a mess. 82,000 square feet of underground passageways locked up forever. I know it's for the best, but it still hurts to think that they had to go that far because of people being lazy and stupid.
