Broken Car Windows

This was just sent to me this morning.

Around 10 this morning I saw at least 2 cars with smashed windows on east side of Park Ave. between Columbia & Eastern Hgts. Called it in & police arrived quickly.

**If you have a driveway, use it. I know moving cars in and out can be a pain, we have to do that often. However, parking in the street leaves your car available for broken windows, slashed tires, being keyed and other things.

Nothing like leaving for work, early in the morning, and finding a problem like this.
