Car tires slashed at 24th and Clay again

During the late evening/early morning hours of Nov.6/7 all 4 of my tires were slashed on my Volvo XC90 while parked at the intersection of N. 24th and Clay. No other cars were damaged leading me to believe that I was targeted. This past Saturday, Jan. 9 sometime between 6pm and 11pm I had another tire slashed while parked at the exact same intersection. I do believe my car is being targeted but don’t have any proof of who the culprit is.
There were repeated incident of tire slashing in that same area back in August, and a car window smashed by a brick close by back in November. Is this weird?
That’s awful. We live at 24th and Clay and haven’t had any tire slashing incidents. I think you’re right about being targeted. I’ll keep an eye out for your car and call the police if I see anything.
My friend who just moved from that area had his tires slashed twice and his girlfriend’s tires slashed once. This was the same guy whose window was smashed with a brick.
Based on your comment, G, it almost sounds as if a specific someone has singled out particular cars/people in the area. Which is creepy.
I trust all this is being reported to the police?
If sometimes seems to me that I see more mentions of crimes here than show up in the online police database, so I hope nobody’s given up on even reporting crimes.
