"...and I took that as a personal challenge."
That's good, spray paint is even better!
That's not better. I have old boxes and some electrical tape in my house. If this were my local bus stop, I could do this in 5-10 minutes at no cost to me.
I'd have to buy spray paint. I'd have to go somewhere to buy spray paint. That's a lot more effort and time (and money). The box is a very clear response to the ad. Spray paint might be on the bus stop from any time, it doesn't send the same signal. Also, it escalates things from a cheeky and fun prank to actual vandalism.
I think I disagree overall, but you have some good points and I appreciate that. Anyway... we're on the same side.
I have some tins and cans of old paint from hard rubbish. Negative cost to me since it uses up the old paint so I no longer need to make a trip to council's hazardous waste drop-off.
I can save my tape for other purposes and use my cardboard to stop weeds growing in my garden.

Write "ad blocked by ublock origin" or something on it and I think we'd be onto something here.
But that would turn it into an ad for ubo!
Damn I see this billboard all the time in Mitcham Melbourne, fantasized about having the time to do something like this.

yess.. I too always remember to artfully leave the brand name visible when engaging in totally-not-guerilla-marketing on a meta-campaign by an advertising company.
edit: here we all are helping, too. sees 2nd raptor "clever girl..."
