Bill Jaques: Glad vandalism wasn’t politically motivated

Re “Vandals strike home of Ceres Trump supporter” (Page 3A, May 9): We can all breathe a sigh of relief. After a brief, yet thorough, investigation, the Ceres PD reports the disappearance of a Donald Trump banner and U.S. flag and the splattering of paint on a residents pickup truck was just an act of opportunity vandalism. Sort of reminds me of a lesson I learned many years ago, “an elephant isn’t heavy.”
