F-Bomb on Teacher's House

Someone wrote "F--- You" in black spray paint on a wall of a woman's house on the 5500 block of Fairmount Avenue. The incident occurred sometime between 9:15 p.m. June 11 and 7:45 a.m. June 12. The words were written on the house wall facing the driveway.

During the overnight hours of June 1 and 2, someone also knocked over flower pots and spilled dirt on the pavement, left a dirty diaper and a smoke bomb near her front door. She did not report the earlier incident to police because she thought it was an isolated incident, according to a report.

The woman is a teacher at an undisclosed school, but she doesn't think students are targeting her, the report said. There were no leads or suspects at the time of the report.
