Vandalism is NOT welcome in our Community!

REWARD offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of vandals in Southwood.

To the person(s) who has been flattening car tires parked at the end of 11th Street SW and in the alley behind Southdale Cl. SW:  Your senseless vandalism has cost me (and others) thousands of dollars to repair and replace multiple tires.

The first time you flattened all four of my tires, I laughed at you for being such a jerk. The next couple of times that you did it I felt sorry for you. However, in the last month, after multiple ruined tires, you have gone too far.

I am personally offering a reward for information leading to your arrest and conviction.

To my fellow neighbours: Please help stop the senseless vandalism!

For the record, I parked in the alley whenever I wanted to walk my dog out of consideration for my fellow neighbours who might find it inconvenient if I parked on the street.  I wonder… would my tires have been flattened if I’d been inconsiderate and parked on the street instead of the alley?  Interesting, isn’t it?  Do we inconvenience others to protect ourselves, or do we do what’s right?

I made my decision; I continued to park in the alley.  Now it’s your turn to do the right thing.

If you have any information, please call Crimestoppers @ 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Thank you!
