A<\/span> house in Airdrie\u2019s Edgewater community was vandalized on Oct. 8, when someone took black spray paint to the exterior of the home.<\/p>\n

T<\/span>he house was almost completely covered in crude lines of black spray paint, leaving thousands of dollars in damage.<\/p>\n

The Airdrie RCMP are still on the lookout for any possible suspects, and have encouraged the public to come forward with any information they can discover.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen this level of damage in a vandalism case before,\u201d said Airdrie resident Joshua Macgaghey.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve actually been the victim of vandalism when someone threw eggs at my car. I can\u2019t imagine the trouble that family must be going through. And on Thanksgiving? Come on.”<\/p>\n

Macgaghey recently moved into another house in the area, with a couple of roommates, and says that he wouldn\u2019t be able to financially handle that kind of damage being done to his own place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t lived there long, but it\u2019s already a home. The idea that someone could just come along and destroy my home without any reason is unsettling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The home vandalized was the only one hit on the block, leaving many to think that it might have been targeted and not a random attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t imagine that it was random,\u201d said local resident Caleb Bankert.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly that house was hit. And it wasn\u2019t a small amount of damage. The house was completely covered. And I heard both of their car\u2019s tires were slashed. It was definitely planned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bankert lives in Luxstone, which borders the Edgewater community, and he says he is definitely sleeping a little lighter due to the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m on the lookout now. I take notice when teenagers are passing my house. This is not right. I remember when I was their age, and I hated older people glaring at me as if I broke the law just by existing. But I have to be careful.\u201d<\/p>\n
