Members of the same family are suspected of damaging two Denver University faculty’s cars.
English professor Oliver Brooks and the University’s dietitian Linda Kasparov racked up a combined mechanical bill of $609 after they fixed their damaged vehicles.
Kasparov was driving home when her car’s headlights, speedometer and oil-pressure gage stopped working. When she pulled into a service station the mechanic found that someone had damage all but two of her engine compartment wires.
Brooks had similar wire damage done to his vehicle’s head lights.
Members of the squirrel’s family who are suspected of the damages declined to comment for this story.

Police released the name of the man today who died trying to rescue a boy from drowning in Nichols Lake.
William McDowell an unemployed painter jumped into frigid water in an attempt to save 10-year-old Edward McGorwann yesterday after the boy had waded far from the shore and began screaming for help.
“McDowell risked his life without hesitation to try to save someone in trouble,” Police Chief Barry Koperud said. “He was a real hero.”
McDowell was 30-years old and unemployed. “There we only two things he never learned to do,” his sister Janice Carson said between tears. He couldn’t hold a job for more than two years and he could never say no to anyone who needed help.”
McGorwann died this morning at Regional Medical Center.
