Chicago police are investigating a chain of destruction that left dozens of vehicles smashed and vandalized on Thursday, authorities said.
Residents of the city’s Kenwood neighborhood found their car windows smashed and their belongings scattered through the street, according to a report.

“There are a lot of people out here with missing glass windows. It’s crazy. This has been going on throughout the summer at different times,” resident Teresa Tyler said.
At least 20 vehicles were vandalized between 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday and 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, police said.
Calls relating to the incident began as residents left their homes to start their day.
Most calls did not report any property stolen.
“I can’t see where anything was taken. They pulled out a lot of things. They could have taken my iPod, but they didn’t. So I don’t know if they are trying to get information or what,” Tyler said.
“You come home, you feel like you’re in a safe community, and this happens,” said Tisha Chapron, another resident. “They didn’t take nothing. I’ve got $200 shoes back in my trunk. They didn’t touch them. Thank goodness.”
For one victim, it was the second time his car had been vandalized this week.

“You think you’re getting up to enjoy a great day, and you come out to this disruption, chaos,” Charles Dickens said. “I’m pretty much hustling backwards. I make a few dollars, and then I have to spend it on car repairs. It’s a burden.”
The chain of break-ins remains under investigation.
