Fun in the summer sun on Toluca Lake might have to wait another year, the recently constructed paddle boat rental store Spin Fins was struck by a serious case of vandalism. Just as the finishing touches and employee training was over the summer weather crept in and on Friday's morning all the boats were found scuttled at the bottom of Toluca Lake.
After recovering a few of the human propelled vehicles, the damage indicates some form of intentional slashing damage to the hulls coupled with severe piercings that breached the hull allowing for water to flood the passenger area. The owner Greg Barkin was at a loss, "I just don't get it. I mean, the kids in Silent Hill are a pretty decent bunch. I know that most of them would have loved to come relax with their friends out on the lake."
Insurance is covering the damages and the town has chipped in a small amount to help reimburse Mr. Barkin for his efforts in accordance with the town's recent tourist bill which aims to bring more tourism to the town.
