Scrooge Redux: Tires Sliced as Well as Holiday Lights

On the same night that the sliced the cords of some holiday lights of a house on Fargo Boulevard, someone sliced some tires on a car parked a few blocks away.

Geneva police report that someone punctured the rear-side tire of a Lexus 400 parked in a driveway of the 1700 block of Fargo Boulevard sometime between 8 p.m. Nov. 25 and noon Nov. 26, reports said.

The owner discovered that the flat tire likely was an act of vandalizism after he took the tire to the shop, where an employee showed him that slits had been cut in the tire’s sidewalls.

The police report noted that this was the second report of criminal damage on Fargo the same night—the other being the cut electrical cord for holiday lights at a home in the 1400 block of Fargo.
