Each time they do something like that it costs a lot to fix it (out of already thin budgets), and then they come back and do it again. A few years back they went after mirrors. Smurf had its mirror snapped off twice before aekiy came down and took over its care and feeding, and another car I had got its mirror messed with constantly and then finally snapped.
The cops are pretty vigilant in my neighborhood of late (the number of drunks in the creek has diminished), but they can't be there all the time and I wouldn't really want them to have to be. Reporting it every time sort of gives them patterns to watch out for though, so I'm hoping they'll nose around at night a little more often and maybe catch some of them redhanded.
