Frustration in River Heights continues to grow as people deal with vandals targeting cars parked in the neighbourhood, including Jon Waldman’s vehicle.

"(The) the glass has been knocked out," he said, pointing out pieces of glass laying all over his front passenger seat on Monday.

It’s the second time this year Waldman was forced to pick up the pieces left behind by vandals.

This time, he discovered the mess as he was leaving for work Monday morning.

"It was deeply disturbing. I mean it's one thing when you have it on a car pad in back of your house. It's another thing when it's on a public street like this," said Waldman.

And it's not just his car.

He said a number of vehicles down his River Heights street were also hit.

"It really makes me feel unsafe here. I mean I have a growing family. I don't want to be worried about my family being targeted like this. You know, I have a daughter on the way," Waldman added.

Winnipeg police have made some arrests in connection to a rash of break-ins in River Heights over the past few months, but Waldman wonders if it will ever stop.

"The fact that's its happened to me twice in a three months span is message enough that there need to be something better done," said Waldman.

Manitoba Public Insurance said there are about 10,000 vandalism claims opened every year in Manitoba costing the corporation, and ultimately all MPI customers, about $11 million a year to fix damage left by vandals.

On the bright side, MPI says those costs are minor compared to other types of claims the corporation pays for every year that can drive insurance rates up.

"Manitoba Public Insurance does about $2 million worth of business every day so, again, car vandalism and break-ins (are) a very small portion of our business. It's inconvenient for the customers but it's a small part of our business," said MPI spokesperson Brian Smiley.

Little conciliation for people like Waldman who now feels his only recourse to stop the vandalism is connecting with others affected by the break-ins on social media and connecting with his area city councillor for solutions.

Waldman says he did call police about this incident but was told police would not be investigating the matter. Winnipeg police could not be reached for comment Monday.
