Senior Kiki Means and junior Natalie Kerns had their cars broken into and vandalized in the high school parking lot last weekend on Saturday, October 10.. Kerns’ 2003 Jetta was parked by the tennis courts overnight; Means’ car was also left at the school overnight, in the second lot of the main student parking lot.
Means’ 1990’s Toyota pickup had the passenger, driver side, and back windows completely broken out. Means’ mother got a call from former VHS student Zelda Porter, who was at the high school on Sunday, alerting her of the damage.
Kerns found a Mike’s Hard Lemonade bottle on the pavement to the left of the car.
The driver side window was completely shattered, and rear window had a quarter-size hole. The car was also egged.
“I don’t know who else would egg someone’s car if they weren’t in high school, and I don’t know who else hangs out in the high school parking lot,” said Kerns.
Kerns’ parents are paying for the comprehensive insurance coverage.
Around 2 a.m. on Sunday, October 11, Kerns went to pick up the car in the parking lot.
“School parking lots, you should be able to feel safe leaving your car. I don’t care if you want to go off and rage, but it’s not funny at all to break into someone’s car and rummage through their stuff,” said Kerns.
The glove compartment was open, but the vandals didn’t take anything. In Means’ truck, the glove box had been rummaged through. Nothing appeared to be taken.
“I can’t even deal with it right now, ” said Means.
Means’ car is at home. Means can’t drive with her knee injury , but her family plans on fixing the car as soon as possible.
