Tires slashed on several cars in Ann Arbor

By John Counts

Four cars had their tires slashed in the 2400 block of Yorkshire Road of Ann Arbor over the weekend, police report.

The vandalism was discovered around 7 a.m. Saturday morning, said Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush.

They are believed to be related, given the close proximity of the vehicles, Bush said. Two of the vehicles were owned by the same victim.

Police do not have a suspect, Bush said, but they continue to investigate.

Officials are also looking into an earlier case of tire slashing. A report for one car with all four tires slashed in the 2200 block of Fuller Court was taken at 8:15 a.m. Friday. A vehicle was parked overnight and the owner found all four tires slashed the next morning, according to a news release.

Anyone with information about these incidents is encouraged to call the Ann Arbor police anonymous tip line at 734-794-6939 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (773-2587).

The first sentence sounds as if the cars instigated the slashing of the tires. A better start would be: The tires of 4 cars were slashed ...

Ugh, I hope they catch the vandal doing this. Then I hope they are made to pay for ALL the tires that needed to be replaced, plus the labor costs. This to me seems like malicious destruction of property.

Karma owes you when you wake up to a flat tire on both cars. Your mind should be immediately at ease. Your day will in all likelihood only improve. In fact, it might be worth your while to go get a bottle of champagne and a lottery ticket once the tow trucks leave.
