Several cars have been vandalised in the latest incident at Kaiapoi's Sovereign Palms subdivision.
Gardner said she had planned to report the incident at the police station, but officers turned up at her house first after seeing her post on social media.
She hoped the vandals may have been caught on someone’s security camera, and said the incident had prompted her to get one of her own.
