A squirrel roaming a community college in northern Iowa has become the number one suspect in a vandalized bicycle incident.
Officials at Iowa
Lakes Community College in Estherville say the rodent chewed through two
tires, a bicycle seat, a headlight and a taillight in the span of two
days beginning Wednesday.
The
Sioux City Journal reports the bicycle owner, an associate math
professor, reported the incidents to Estherville police. Another
professor later came forward with a photo that shows the squirrel
attacking the bike.
A
school spokeswoman says the photo helps solve the mystery of how the
bicycle was vandalized without witnesses seeing a suspect.
The professor has since parked his bicycle indoors.
