A Staten Island homeowner is dealing with costly damage to his property, all thanks to what may be part of a social media challenge.
And it's not the first time something like this has happened in the borough.The vandalism appears to be part of a stunt called the 'Kool-Aid Man Challenge,' a nod to the commercial featuring the mascot of the popular drink bursting through a wall.Smashed fences anger homeownersNone of it sits well with Noby Augustine.
Augustine reported the incident to police, but he said it wasn't a unique situation, adding he returned home from a trip two years ago to also find his fence busted.'It's not funny at all, but, yeah, should not be doing this,' he said.'I was just in shock'Back in April, Ben Helwa's fence at his home in the Eltingville neighborhood was vandalized in similar fashion.
