The first three letters of the club's name in its sign had also tumbled to the ground.
General manager Jean-Victor Clerico said that, fortunately, "the boulevard was empty of passers-by" when the objects fell. He said insurers would investigate the cause of the damage. [Sky News, 4/25/2024]
• The Pink Sponge Home Cleaning service in Glendora, California, was the site of some dirty shenanigans, KTLA-TV reported.
Vandals broke into the parking lot and damaged the business's iconic pink VW Bugs, kicking in headlights and carving gang symbols into the hoods.
Surveillance cameras also caught them standing on cars, blasting fire extinguishers and twerking.
Pink Sponge's Jennifer Ahlgrim said the teenagers caused more than $25,000 in damage.
"To see our hard work vandalized was just completely disheartening," Ahlgrim said. "Our Pink Sponge team is strong, but it's been very sad." [KTLA, 4/23/2024]
