Some cars had all four tires slashed. Some neighbors told CBS4 they were facing a choice between fixing their vehicle or buying food.

"A lot of people are already struggling," said Matt Story, owner of the nearby Big O Tires. "To have that happen on top of everything else it just seems like too much of burden."
