WALPOLE – A group of teenagers vandalized a warehouse in Walpole last week, and the damaged furniture inside was supposed to be going to families in need.
Ruined furniture donations
“As you can see, there’s graffiti in different colors all over the paints,” says Vlad Ivanov, CEO of Limitless Moving & Storage. “This is the leaf of a dining table, and over here in the back there you can see the saw they used to cut that couch.”
Ivanov says charity deliveries make up a large portion of the business done by his company.
“Often time donation centers don’t have the ability to pick things up in a speedy manner, and people need to move. There are closings happening, and they are left with a whole bunch of furniture that will end up in a landfill. We speed up that process,” explains Ivanov.
On Thursday, a group of teens entered his warehouse, and in addition to spraying graffiti and slashing up furniture, they also doused the area with fire extinguishers.
