A well-meaning West Ridgewood Drive woman learned a lesson the hard way when she invited a naked teen into her home for a meal.

The woman, 56, told police she was watching TV about 7 p.m. Sunday when she heard a noise in her front yard. She went outside to find a naked male, breaking potted plants.

She asked him why he had no clothes, and if he was cold or hungry. He said he was, so she invited him in to give him food and shelter, a report said.

Once inside, though, the suspect walked over to her 24-inch TV, picked it up and threw it to the ground, breaking it.

The woman then called police. The suspect had run away from Parmadale, the report said.

A vandal damaged a car on Virginia Avenue last week by spray-painting it with purple paint.

The graffiti depicted pictures of male anatomy.
