• A 2004 GMC and a 2007 Nissan Maxima on Park Lane in Bethpage;

• A 1984 Buick Lacrosse, a 2004 Honda Odyssey, a 2001 Dodge Durango, and a 2001 Ford Mustang on Whaley Avenue in Bethpage;

• A 2000 Nissan Pathfinder on Essen Place in Bethpage;

"I'm guessing it's probably kids who really didn't have a sense of what they're writing. To them, maybe it was a joke. But to us, it's vandalism, and it's actually a pretty frightening thing to see when you come outside," said Danielle Levitt, whose car was targeted.

Anyone with information was asked to call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at (800) 244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
