Vandal leaves calling card

Some teens broke a mirror and damaged sinks last month at Davis Creek county park. Usually, such incidents are discovered long after the perpetrators are gone.

But this time, the youth left behind fishing tackle - complete with his father's fishing license.

Washoe County sheriff's Deputy John Giles says he has the names of several people who were present May 5 when the vandalism occurred, but nobody is admitting it.

He said he hopes the people involved will step forward to make restitution without going through the courts, the Reno Gazette-Jouranl reported on Monday.

He conceded that the $574 price tag on the damage may be daunting, but added that if something doesn't happen by next week, he's going to start talking to some parents.
