Thursday, September 25, 1997 The University Daily Kansan Section A • Page 3 Vandal slashes tires; police warn neighbors By Mary Corcoran mcorcoran@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Four University of Kansas students lost a total of seven tires Sunday morning when a vandal slashed a path down Louisiana Street. Five other vehicles not owned by KU students also had tires slashed Sunday while the vehicles were parked on Louisiana Street behind Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall, police said. The KU parking department classifies that area as lot 122. The 17 damaged tires were valued at $50 each. Police said that each tire received a single slice. The slasher cut tires on the driver's side of the cars. "It doesn't look like a particular person was singled out," said Sgt. Chris Keary, University of Kansas police. "Somebody started it and thought it was fun, so they just continued down the line." A KU police officer was making his rounds about 7 a.m. when he noticed that the tires had been cut on the row of cars. The officer contacted the vehicles' owners to determine that the slashings had occurred between 2 and 7 a.m. Sunday. The left-front and rear tires of a 1986 maroon Chevrolet, a 1988 gray Toyota and a blue Ford were slashed. The right-rear tire of a 1993 Toyota also was sliced. The These four cars belonged to KU students. Keary said that such acts of random destruction were inevitable in Lawrence and at the University. "Sometimes, a bunch of windows are broken with BBs; sometimes tires are slashed," Keary said. "The best thing for students to do is watch out for themselves and their neighbors and call in anything suspicious." Police said that although they tried to cover the campus, they could not be everywhere at once. "It always helps if people can call us if they see anybody doing something they shouldn't. In this case, someone probably saw something but they didn't think to call," Keary said. "Somebody just started it and thought it was fun, so they just continued down the line." Sgt. Chris Keary KU Police Slasher crime The tires of nine cars were slashed between 2 and 7a.m. Sunday. 14th St. M.
