## Resource

A Billings portable toilet business owner is facing a shocking surge in vandalism—13 units destroyed by fireworks this year, costing $1,000 each to replace. The deliberate acts, which began years ago, are crippling his ability to donate toilets to youth sports and community events like ZooMontana’s holiday lights. With few witnesses at job sites and no affordable way to install cameras on all 400 units, he feels helpless. Meanwhile, a local resident had her car’s windshield shattered by shrapnel from a neighbor’s fireworks display, sparking frustration over intentional damage. This growing problem threatens both businesses and individuals, revealing a deeper issue of unchecked property destruction tied to holiday celebrations.
