Vandals target Lincoln man's rural car collection - Lincoln Journal Star

If the vandals had smashed the windshield of his Ford Taurus, Roger Pickering could get it replaced in hours. But it's not so simple finding good glass for the split pane of a 1940 New Yorker, or the passenger window of a 1957 Ranchero, or the wraparound windshield of a 1960 Thunderbird. They stained a couple of cars with yellow spray paint -- “Dalton S. was here” -- and they dumped transmission fluid on the hood of a rare 1953 Kaiser Manhattan, leaving a blood-colored stain on fresh ivory paint. “It’s happening over a period of time,” Pickering said. Deputies have been called to his land four times since 2011 -- three times this year -- documenting more than $17,000 in damage and stolen items, including a ’52 Plymouth transmission and a Model A fender.

They left the boxes and boxes of seat covers and stacks of Hot Rod and True Detective. Source: journalstar.com
