Dozens of people woke up Friday morning to find the tires on their cars slashed.  It happened along Linden and Orange Streets in the Fountain Square area.

Between 30 and 50 cars were vandalized. At least two tires on each car were ripped open with knives.

The crime was so widespread, IMPD put flyers on people's windshields to let them know how to handle the incident.

A lot of those people said they don't know how they're going to pay for new tires. All of them also agree, they'll be keeping a close eye on their cars after dark.

"I don't know who I’m watching for but I’m going to be watching.  I can't fix this and come back and let them do it again tonight or tomorrow night," said Stephan Johnson.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like anyone saw anything suspicious when the crime was taking place so metro police don't have much to go on.
