"I'm guessing it's probably kids who really didn't have a sense of what they're writing. To them, maybe it was a joke. But to us, it's vandalism, and it's actually a pretty frightening thing to see when you come outside," said Danielle Levitt, whose car was targeted.
Anyone with information was asked to call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at (800) 244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
