What are the details?
The station said vandals broke into the Glendora business in the early morning hours of April 20. Surveillance video from the Pink Sponge’s rooftop parking lot showed at least three teens carrying out vandalism, including blasting a fire extinguisher and chucking a large object at one of the company’s 25 pink Volkswagen Bugs, KTLA said.

“They kicked in every headlight they could,” Jennifer Ahlgrim of Pink Sponge told KTLA. “They pulled down the windows so hard, they broke the regulators. They carved on the hoods of cars.”

“They tore open a door and threw products over the side of the building,” Ahlgrim added to the station. “It was disgusting.”
Dumb and dumber
You’d think that today’s teens would be savvy enough to know that just about every business is outfitted with surveillance cameras, but the dumb teens either didn’t know or didn’t care.

Authorities added to the station that they have the suspect’s cell phone and are hoping to use it to find the two teen girls who were involved in the break-in.
Meanwhile, the outfit is picking up the pieces after 18 of its vehicles were heavily vandalized to the tune of $25,000 in damages, the station said.
“I couldn’t understand how someone could do something like this to a company that’s trying to do good,” Ahlgrim added to KTLA. “It just doesn’t make sense.”
The co-founder of the company added to the station that the insurance claim was denied because the company had been vandalized previously.
A GoFundMe has been organized to help the business with the cost of repairs and the loss of many of its supplies, KTLA noted.
