Window Of Opportunity

A Sacramento business owner was arrested as a result of several acts of vandalism. Andrew Krogh owns AA Glass and Mirror, and operated a scam in his local area where he would use a slingshot and ball bearings to shoot out the windows of businesses in his area during the night. Then Krogh would conveniently appear and offer his business card, telling the victims that he could offer a deal to help repair the damage. A Sacramento Martial Arts school appeared to be the favourite target suffering over $12,000 in broken windows during the span of 1 year. Each time AA Glass and Mirror was called to repair the damage. As fate would have it, the landlord of the Martial Arts Building also owns a surveillance company, and uses his resources to monitor the Jiu Jistu school in an attempt to catch the vandal. After catching a suspicious white van in the parking lot each night the building was vandalized, the students took matters into their own hands. Eight Martial Arts students planned a stake out, and while hiding nearby when Krogh's white van made a U-Turn towards the lot, as the students made their move. One of the students happened to be a sheriff's deputy, and made the arrest.

This story reminds me of the kid who wrote a small computer virus to drum up business for his parents computer repair company, only to have the virus spread further than anticipated crippling PC's all over the world.
