# beetle tomato
In Copenhagen/Denmark there are a number of signs marking off the location of a 'BILLETAUTOMAT'. A 'BILLETAUTOMAT', in this context, is an automatic vending machine for parking permits (there is probably an appropriate English word for this).

For unknown reasons someone has crafted a sticker just big enough to cover the middle letters 'TAU'. These stickers have been applied to a large number of signs and new ones seem to be popping up occasionally.

It's not graffiti as such but makes me smile anyway. The sticker breaks up the word in the following way, making it read (in English translation) 'BEETLE[ ]TOMATO':
