The question is what to do about it when you see it, and the answer is easy -- contact the appropriate law enforcement agency and do not try to solve the problem yourself. Lots of these folks are armed.
Good advice, and the rangers take this seriously. Unfortunately they can't fix stupid. Seems like every year, there's another home-grown vandal caught on public lands. A guy from North Carolina paid a $10,000 fine to cover restoration costs after he scratched his own name into a rock panel of ancient art in Glen Canyon. He told the ranger he thought it would be "cool" when he was caught before he even got off the river. Then there were those ex-Scout leaders who knocked over the rock formation in Goblin Valley State Park a few years ago and videotaped themselves doing it - sentenced to probation and fined.
