Seven cars were vandalized late Saturday evening near the Townhouses 3 and 4 blocks.

The collective cost of damage was estimated to be a few thousand dollars, according to John Ritchie, assistant director of public safety.

Junior Justin Wimer is one of the residents whose car was vandalized. Wimer, who owns a 1992 Mazda Miata, estimates his damage alone to be about $1,000.

“Someone jumped on the front of my hood … I had the soft top up because it was warm and they kicked a hole in my soft top and then they jumped on the back and dented my trunk and then jumped off.

They scratched my fender pretty bad when they jumped off, too,” said Wimer.

According to Wimer, his vehicle’s soft top was destroyed as the frame was bent during the incident. He has since replaced his soft top with a hard top. There is a footprint on the hood and a large dent on the left side of his car.

Wimer also experienced vandalism just two weeks ago, when he caught people throwing chunks of ice at his vehicle’s windshield in an attempt to break it.

Another victim of vandalism was Lisa Tremaglio ‘15. Her left mirror was ripped off and was thrown into the woods in front of her townhouse.

Tremaglio was unaware of the damage until DPS informed her housemates, who then called her to tell her.

“There weren’t any other scratches on my car at all, but some wires are hanging out where the mirror used to be.

I think it’ll be about $200 to $300 to fix, but I’m not positive yet because I haven’t brought it anywhere,” said Tremaglio.

After learning her vehicle had been vandalized, Tremaglio was unable to locate her missing mirror and filed a police report with DPS. The next day, her mirror reappeared on the ground next to her car.

DPS asks that anyone with information related to these incidents call Public Safety at 203-254-4090.
