NUTLEY, NJ — Nutley police say that a truck owner returned to their vehicle after parking on Park Avenue to find an unpleasant surprise last month… dog feces and vandalism.

When a local motorist returned to their vehicle on Sept. 30, they found that someone had ripped off their temporary registration, smashed their driver’s side door handle and broke their passenger side mirror. The vehicle’s driver’s side mirror was missing from the scene, police said.

In addition to the criminal mischief, the driver found dog feces smeared on the front of the vehicle, Nutley police stated.

Police said that the mirrors were valued at $217 each.
