Vandals victimize car owners over weekend

Collegian Staff Writer

This was not a good weekend for some local car owners.

In the past three days, vandals damaged six automobiles in unrelated offenses, local police said.

Jonathan Litofsky, 229 Locust Lane, reported that someone threw several glass drinking mugs, bearing the Chi Phi Fraternity logo, at his car parked outside his residence sometime overnight between Saturday and Sunday, State College Bureau of Police Services said.

The mugs dented Litofsky's car and cracked its windshield on the passenger's side, police said. Police did not have an estimate of the damage to Litofsky's car and did not know if the mugs were owned by Chi Phi, 360 E. Hamilton Ave.

In a similar incident, the rear window of a car belonging to Lorna Dontigny, 510 S. Allen St., was broken sometime in the early evening Saturday, State College police said. While the car was parked outside Dontigny's residence, someone hurled a rock through the window, police said. No damage estimate was available from police.

Other incidents reported:

-- Frederick Sahakian, 201 Adder Drive, reported that the windshield of his car was broken sometime overnight between Friday and Saturday, State College police said. Although no evidence was found at the scene, the window was reportedly broken with a heavy object while it was parked outside 616 E. College Ave., police said.

-- The passenger's side mirror, parking light and the rear windshield wiper of a car belonging to Mee-Seon Shin, 841 Southgate Drive, were damaged sometime overnight between Friday and Saturday, State College Police said. No damage estimate was available from police.

-- Police also reported that unknown persons shot out the driver's side rear window of a car belonging to Melvin Berman of Bensalem while it was parked outside 611 S. Pugh St. sometime between Friday and Saturday, State College police said. No damage estimate was available.

Car damage was not limited to State College.

Roger Wagner of Howard reported that the tires of his car were punctured sometime between Friday and Saturday while it was parked on the side of Route 445 in Miles Township, Rockview state police said. The cost of the tire damage was not available.

The truck was parked outside of Baier's residence, and no damage estimate was available from police.
