Klemeyer Park Car Vandalism

Just received an anonymous email from someone claiming that someone loosened the lug nuts on the rims of their vehicles.  I have no specific validation, only the single email found below:

Kleymeyer Park softball parking lot on Friday, 6-26-09 around 10pm.

Our softball game was over and we were all heading home with a victory and a smile. My smile was replaced by a frozen stare when my truck began to vibrate more and more as I drove south on First Ave.  First thought it was a flat tire, but upon inspection the tires and vehicle seemed fine.  The vibration continued and gradually got worse as I drove home. Lug nuts! Check the lug nuts. Sure enough, the lug nuts on all four tires had been loosened. The lugs on the drivers side were loose enough to remove by hand. I immediately called several other players from the softball team and found that a few others had the same experience.

Why would anyone do this? Did a couple of kids loosen the lugs and go across the street and wait for the laughs to literally start to roll?

It's one thing to tollerate people opening their car door into mine because they don't take pride in their possesions or leaving their shopping cart in a convient store parking lot only to have the wind blow it into the middle of my truck door because they don't have respect for my possesions.  It is a completely different and unacceptable situation when the distruction of my property intentionally puts me and, even worse, my family in serious danger.

Grow up Evansville. Can't we find more creative and less distructive ways to entertain ourselves?

If anyone has any information on who is responsible for this..I'm interested.

There you have it.  If you have any information regarding this please leave a comment or contact me through this website.
