Chicago police are inves­ti­gat­ing the theft of lug nuts from squad cars sit­ting in a police sta­tion park­ing lot on the city’s South­west Side. The lug nuts began dis­ap­pear­ing about a week ago. No offi­cers have been involved in road acci­dents because of the appar­ent van­dal­ism, offi­cials said. “It’s not funny,” a Mor­gan Park Dis­trict offi­cer said. “You could lose con­trol and run into a build­ing or a per­son or another car.” No sus­pects have been iden­ti­fied, but offi­cers also dis­cov­ered a con­crete slab in the Mor­gan Park Dis­trict police park­ing lot painted with an anar­chy symbol.
