An elderly couple have been ‘devastated’ by a mystery vandal who destroyed their cars with paint stripper, and then returned ten months later to push manure through their letterbox.
Ken and Diane Lott, both 81, returned home from holiday on February 8 to find a poo-like substance all over the front door and a key glued into the key hole.
The couple have no idea why they are being targeted by the unknown figure, who the police are scrambling to identify.
The vandalism began in April last year, when Ken and Diane came back from a holiday with their daughter Julie, 48, and found paint stripper all over their two cars.
The couple, who live in a quiet village in the countryside, were shocked and confused by the attack. They couldn’t understand why someone would want to harm them in such a destructive way.
Despite reporting the incident to the police, no arrests were made and the case went cold. Ken and Diane were left feeling vulnerable and anxious, not knowing if or when the vandal would strike again.
Then, ten months later, the unthinkable happened. The vandal returned to their home and not only pushed manure through their letterbox, but also glued a key into the keyhole, making it impossible for them to unlock their front door.
The couple were at a loss for words. They couldn’t fathom why someone would go to such lengths to torment them. They felt violated and scared in their own home.
Their daughter, Julie, was outraged by the attacks on her parents. She described them as ‘senseless’ and ‘cruel’, with no motive behind the vandalism.
The police have been working tirelessly to identify the perpetrator, but so far, no leads have surfaced. Ken and Diane are left wondering if they will ever find out who is behind the attacks, and why they have been targeted.
In the meantime, the couple have increased security measures around their home, installing CCTV cameras and alarm systems. They are determined to protect themselves from any further harm.
Despite the trauma and fear that the vandalism has caused, Ken and Diane remain resilient. They refuse to let the actions of one person dictate their lives. They are determined to move past this ordeal and continue living their lives to the fullest.
The battle of the blue-rinsers may not be over, but Ken and Diane are determined to come out on top, stronger than ever. They have the support of their family and community behind them, and they are not going to let a cowardly vandal bring them down.
