Vandals damage Toyotas at Chicago Auto Show
Minor vandalism is an auto show hazard, but what happened Wednesday night may be a first, as three southwest suburban men did about $30,000 damage to seven vehicles at the Chicago Auto Show because they were angry at U.S. jobs going overseas.

The three were caught in a blue Toyota Camry, damaging the interior with razor knives and flathead screwdrivers, according to a police report. A security camera caught footage of them inside the car. Besides the Camry, a RAV4, a Prius, a Land Cruiser, two Tundras and a Lexus ES350 were damaged, the latter having its back seat punctured and a turn indicator broken, according to the report. The men allegedly told police they were angry about American jobs going overseas.

While three of the makes they targeted – the Prius, Lexus and Land Cruiser – are made in Japan, the others are assembled in the United States or Canada. The Camry is assembled in Georgetown, Ky., and the RAV4 in Canada, McAllister said. The Tundra, “in terms of U.S. content, is the most American-made truck in the U.S,” he said. It is manufactured in San Antonio, Texas. McAllister noted 60 percent of Toyotas sold in the U.S. are assembled in this country. “I think that some stereotypes die hard,” he said. McAllister said the company uses about 500 U.S. suppliers of various sizes, and noted that using U.S. parts and content is what makes the vehicles so “American.”
Morons.
