A family-owned Jacksonville tree-trimming business is in a financial bind after vandals caused thousands of dollars worth of damage to their company vehicle and equipment.

The husband-and-wife owners of Wicked Outdoors said the company equipment truck and trailer were vandalized despite being kept in a secure location at the Mount Herman Exceptional Student Center.

Devin Cox and her husband were contracted to work for Mount Hermon to conduct tree trimming and brush clearing at the school. They believed it was okay to leave their property in the parking lot since it was fenced off and locked. Obscene graffiti was spray painted on the truck. The trailer tires were slashed. Motor oil was poured into the radiator. The bucket truck motor was smashed. Tracks on the skid steer were gashed and a stack of important job-related paperwork was set on fire.

Now, the owners are worried that the cost of repairs will put a financial strain on the family of seven because that equipment supported their livelihood and supported their five children.
