A pothole problem in Placerville, California got some unexpected attention when a vandal spray-painted a graphic drawing on one of the town's roads. 

A phallic symbol was drawn on one of the town's roads next to a note that read, "What are taxes for?" 

Residents have complained about potholes damaging cars and said they have had trouble getting the road fixed, according to Sacramento-based KTXL. 

The city manager's office declined to comment to KTXL, but the graphic symbol was painted over within an hour of the city manager's office being notified.
