Linda Vista Tire Slashings: β€œ50 in One Night,” Neighbor Says

Residents in Linda Vista say someone slashed dozens of their car tires in the neighborhood.

The cars damaged were all parked on the streets surrounding Montgomery Middle School. An NBC 7 crew counted seven cars with flat tires just on Eastman Street.

But one resident believes there were many more.

β€œIt was all one night,” said neighbor Bennie Ksiazek. β€œIt was like 50 cars in one night.”

Ksiazek said someone slashed the tires a few nights ago. The only visible evidence on his pickup truck is a small cut in the side.

While he has been a victim of a tire slashing before, fortunately for Ksiazek this time, he had parked his car in another spot the night all the tire slashings occurred.

β€œIt’s the kind of thing that you don’t think it will happen to you,” he said. β€œBut you never know.”

Now residents are wondering who’s to blame and why it happened.

A spokesman for the San Diego Police Department said officers have not received reports of the vandalism, so they are not currently investigating.
