Town Of Carthage Flattened By Vandalism

30 Cars Have Slashed Tires

6/22/2012

The small town of Carthage, Indiana was terrorized by a tire slasher.

Listen:

Unlike most pranks that might only get a few cars, the owner of the towing company who helped the recovery effort says, this is a lot worse.

Tod Coumbe owns White Glove Towing, he says he hadn't ever seen vandalism taken to this level. "Just driving through the town, it looks as if every car's tire had been slashed." Coumbe estimated about 30 or so cars total had been vandalized.

There is no word on who is responsible, but according to Coumbe, police have a personal interest in this case, as the Carthage Town Marshall had the tires slashed on his personal car, and his police car.
