Graffiti is only legally vandalism in Germany if it’s not temporary, though. The relevant German law should be Sachbeschädigung (§303 StGB). In this case, specifically section 2:
Ebenso wird bestraft, wer unbefugt das Erscheinungsbild einer fremden Sache nicht nur unerheblich und nicht nur vorübergehend verändert.
which translates to
Anyone who changes the appearance of another person’s property without authorisation, not only insignificantly and not only temporarily, is also punished.
If there aren’t any other special laws or something (again, IANAL), this should also make flipping merchandise over legal as well, as long as you’re not breaking anything.
Well I was just to my local supermarket, and I turned a couple Heinz ketchup, and a few bags of American peanuts.
Didn’t see anything else turned, but maybe I can help start the trend here?
