A woman has been slapped with a two-year Asbo banning her from carrying spray paint or marker pens after more than 200 graffiti offences.
Magistrates heard Sharon Balbi, 43, caused £50,000 damage in three years in Reading, Berks. Smart family cars were sprayed with words like Hawk, CSI, Buz and Thaw.
The "tagger" admitted to being solely responsible for nearly 10 per cent of her home town's criminal damage in a six-month period last year.
Robert Jacques, defending, said: "She sprays out of rage as to how she feels, to stop herself from self-harming."
Balbi was also given a two-year community order with mental health service supervision.
