WHDH reports residents woke up to the vandalism, prompting some to call tow trucks and others to take to changing their tires themselves.
“I would love to know why they would do this to people this early in the morning who have to go to work,” Karlena Savage told the news station. “I have three flat tires, and my neighbor has four.”
