The posters were found across the street, some piled up by the church, some stuck back into the ground. PITTSFIELD, Mass. A strange act of vandalism occurred on Tuesday around noon when the Berkshire Domestic and Sexual Violence Task Force s art installation in Park Square that calls attention to street harassment was taken down and moved. It is not clear whether this was a prank or an act of harassment. Somebody thought it would be amusing to take down all our signs and move them across the street and put them on the church and the bank lawns, planning committee co-chair Susan Birns said, who went immediately to the scene when notified by a task force member around 4 on Tuesday.
