Sales may be climbing for used car dealers everywhere, even in an otherwise tight economy, but a few locations have had to combat a new challenge. A few dealerships around the country have suffered vandalism in recent months. According to the Gaston Gazette, up to six used Ford Mustangs received damage at the hands of an unknown number of vandals. A set of wheels was stolen, and someone through a brick through one of the vehicle’s side glass before setting it on fire. The North Carolina dearlership says the damage totals more than $6,000, and so far police have no leads.

Similarly, another dealership in Shakopee, Minnesota had a vehicle’s dash ripped out and wheels stolen. Around 12 other vehicles had their windows smashed, but nothing taken from inside. According to the Shakopee Valley News, dealership owner Tom Mulcare will have to pay for the damage out of pocket as his cars have only liability coverage. So far the police have no leads on either case of vandalism.
