Car damaged by unknown person

A man caused extensive damage to a parked car Wednesday after becoming angry and kicking the vehicle, police said.

Police responded to an incident of criminal property damage in the 300 block of Lee Street around 9:15 pm, Evanston police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said.

A witness observed the man becoming irate when he saw a car parked with the rear bumper up against his car, Parrott said. The man kicked the car’s front driver side quarter panel and the driver side mirror, causing it to detach, police said.

The 1998 Saturn belongs to a 53-year-old Evanston resident, Parrott said.

The man left the scene in his vehicle, Parrott said.
