MANVILLE, N.J. - It is a meat mystery.
Heather Dougherty says she woke up Wednesday morning to what she thinks is, of all things, pepperoni.
"'What is this?'" Dougherty said to herself that morning. "I am on camera so I cannot say the words I exactly used, but 'what is this?' From the door to the edge of the porch and then strategically placed down the stairs, to the driveway and four slices on the hood and four slices on the trunk."
She has lived in Manville all her life, including 16 years at her home on South Street. She says her house has never been vandalized before, not even on mischief night.
"We're trying to figure out who goes around with two loaves of pepperoni in the middle of the night and cuts it up into slices and throws it on people's property," said Dougherty. "You have nothing better to do with your time."
She called Manville Police to let them know what happened. She says she is worried the grease from the meat sitting on her car could ruin the paint, something that one local body shop says sounds strange but is possible.
"Pepperoni cannot damage car paint if it doesn't sit for a really long time," said Ricardo Ludena of Gifford Auto Body in Manville. "It can damage it if it is [sitting around], especially on a hot day."
Spending a lifetime in the business of pepperoni, the owner of Manville Pizza, Anthony D'Aniello, says the meat looks larger than the kind you would use on pizza.
"Certainly, of the family of pepperoni, salami. Exactly what, I cannot be certain," said D'Aniello. "As an Italian, it hurts the heart."
"It is funny, however, it's wrong," said Dougherty. "You should not be trespassing; you should not be vandalizing peoples' properties."
