"Like a Rock" may be the song associated with Chevys, but something that looked like a rock was used to break windows out of two vehicles last weekend.
On Sept. 8 at the 1633 block of Graham Road, a 37-year-old Stow man called when he went to his vehicle and his driver’s side and front window were smashed on his Ford F-150 grey truck. Total damage is estimated at $350. His truck was parked at his home overnight.
Police said when they arrived they found a small metal ball inside of the truck.
