IDAHO FALLS – Two brothers from Rex’s Sheds are looking for answers after a car drove through the gate to their business and nearly destroyed a shed.
Dennis Shurtliff, the property owner at Rex’s Sheds at 3197 North Yellowstone Highway, says around 9:40 p.m. on Saturday, a white Dodge Avenger drove through the metal gate at the beginning of the property and drove straight into a shed, nearly demolishing it.
“It was about a $9,000 building, and we’ve got about another probable $1,500 in gate damage,” says Dennis. “So we’re looking at over $10,000 in damage.”
Daryl Shurtliff, the owner of Rex’s Sheds, said the business is not open on Sunday, so the damage wasn’t noticed or reported to the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office until Monday afternoon.
Other than the damage to the gate and the shed, the vandals also left behind parts of the car itself.
“There are parts all over, and if they want to come pick up the parts they left behind, they’re more than welcome to,” says Dennis. “It was a white Dodge Avenger with much damage to the right passenger side. We’ve got grill parts. I’m surprised they were able to pull out of here.”
If you have any information about the vandalism or the people involved, please contact the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office at (208) 529-1200 or anonymously online at the Crime Stoppers website, www.ifcrime.org, or (208) 522-1983.
