According to police who used forensic evidence at the scene, a 24-year-old woman vandalized the Antique Automobile Club of America in Hershey, Pennsylvania, causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage to cars, and the reason for it seems unclear.

The Blackout Charger strikes again.

Some people just want to watch the whole world burn for their own amusement. Maybe that’s why Catherine Leecher of Annville, Pennsylvania, allegedly broke into the garage of AACA headquarters on the night of June 3 and smashed the door lock with a brick.

From there, she was accused of damaging a 1930 Lincoln Touring with a fire extinguisher; the damage is estimated at $60,000.

According to police, Leecher damaged a 2008 Ford F-450 with a brick and then climbed onto the roof to make matters worse. The heavy pickup truck could be a total loss.

She is also accused of causing approximately $1,600 in damage to the building itself.

At first, investigators had no idea who the mysterious woman seen on surveillance video was. But police were able to recover and test several fingerprints at the scene that led them to Leecher. When she arrived at Derry Township police on June 12, she reportedly admitted to the vandalism, ABC27 reports.

She is now accused of a serious crime, namely burglary and property damage.

But the big question we have, and that no one seems to have an answer to, or at least won’t reveal, is why? Why did the woman choose the AACA headquarters to break into? Was she bullied by classic car collectors when she was younger? Was her father always tinkering with his classic car and had no time for her? It just seems so random, but maybe a motive will emerge at some point.
