Let’s Get Mudgy/McEuen Vandal(s)

Gabe Cohen/KHQ snapped this photo of the vandalized Mudgy & Millie statue on McEuen Field, at the base of the 3rd Street entrance to Tubbs Hill. You can read his report here.

In the comments section, Boxed In posts: "a reward should be issued for information leading to an arrest." Boxed In is writing about the punk(s) who spray-painted the Mudgy & Millie statue at the foot of Tubbs Hill and sundry places at the emerging McEuen Field. I second the motion. Too often we let vandalism slide as a minor, annoying crime. I'd like to see Crime Stoppers offer a reward and make a big deal out of apprehending the individual responsible for this senseless attack. I figure the jerk(s) was trying to make a statement re: how much he disregards the nice things in Coeur d'Alene. Coeur d'Alene needs to return the favor and make sure this individual(s) is brought to justice for his boorish act. It's like he flipped the whole community a bird. Instead of ignoring this crime, the community needs to send a message to dirtbags like this that they will be caught and prosecuted.
