BRONX - An angry Fordham Manor driver wants to know who smashed every window in his car, before claiming the vandal came back to take several photos of his handiwork.

A new resident of Loring Place North, "Barlos," who declined to provide his last name, was found by his car with all six windows smashed, busy taping his windshield where someone used a bat or a hammer to land at least six good wacks to the glass as it was parked on Loring Place North, between West 183 Street and West Fordham Road on December 2.

Barlos told the Bronx Voice that he had called the police two days earlier, adding, "But they haven't come." The upset car owner said that he had discovered his damaged 2012 Honda Accord Special Edition, the previous Wednesday.

Barlos said a surveillance video caught the entire event on video, but the owners had said they would provide it to police, as they may have been unsure if Barlos would retaliate if he knew the individual.

Barlos said, "It shows everything, because the car was right there... so they have everything." He added, "I'm not going to do anything, I just want to know who did it."

Barlos also claimed to have spoken to a witness, an elderly woman who witnessed the incident. Barlos said, "She saw the guy hopping out of his car, he was in a Toyota Camry with Pennsylvania plates... and started breaking. Then he came back and took pictures of my car."

Believing that the individual used a hammer, Barlos added, "I know I don't have any problems with that person."

Meanwhile, an unidentified teacher at P.S. 95 in Van Cortlandt Village left school to discover all four wheels on her SUV were removed from her vehicle parked on Orloff Place on October 27. Police had no description of the suspects and were still investigating the theft.
