Rather than letting vandalism at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano bring the community down, it instead used the crime as an opportunity to come together.
The 244-year-old Mission’s door was tagged with a heart containing an indecipherable message, and “95 best wishz,” (sic) between the evening of Dec. 10 and early Dec. 11. Supporters of the local Southern California landmark responded by donating money to help fund maintenance and surveillance.
