Lipstick vandalism? The latest Boise-area attack on a Tesla involved makeup
A 2024 Tesla Cybertruck was given an extreme makeover about 1:50 p.m. Wednesday in the Boise area, after a vandal smeared lipstick across the truck's stainless steel surface. The suspect, who was seen arriving in a red sedan, is suspected of causing an estimated $500 worth of damage to the vehicle, according to a news release from the Meridian Police Department. Police reported that they had identified a suspect by Friday afternoon. The lipstick was used to draw on the side of the Tesla Cybertruck, but what was drawn and the shade of lipstick were not disclosed in the news release. This crime comes amid a long string of Tesla-related vandalisms, one of which occurred in April and involved $100,000 in damages after an individual vandalized vehicles and property at the Tesla dealership in Meridian. The FBI was contacted during that incident. In a survey of more than 500 Tesla owners, conducted by Guardian Service, an online insurer, it was determined that nearly half reported instances of intentional damage to their vehicle. Moreover, as tensions continue to rise between those who own Tesla cars and those who oppose Elon Musk, nearly three-fourths of Tesla owners who responded feel as though they are more likely to be victims of targeted vehicle-related vandalism than those who don't drive Teslas.

Illinois state regulators side with BetMGM after canceling man's bets that would have won nearly $400,000
Illinois regulators side with BetMGM after gambling app refuses to pay up on bet that would have won Illinois regulators side with BetMGM after gambling app refuses to pay up on bet that would have won Illinois regulators side with BetMGM after gambling app refuses to pay up on bet that would have won A Chicago area man is down in the dumps, after learning the money he hoped to use for his daughter's college tuition is not going to materialize. Military veteran Mark Aiello, of northwest suburban Roselle, thought he hit some big bets during March Madness, but the gambling app he used won't pay out, and state regulators have sided with the sports betting company. More than a million people watched Aiello's story after it first aired on CBS News Chicago in March, and it went viral online, turning him into a bit of an online celebrity. "It's definitely nice to feel that support from other people," Aiello said. In March, Aiello bet big on basketball, and thought he won $389,000 by correctly guessing rebounds and assists by certain Chicago Bulls players. But the BetMGM sports betting app he used canceled his wagers right before the game, and declined to pay him a cent, citing an "obvious error of incorrect or inflated odds." The outcome outraged the internet. "Being able to have others feel your pain, it definitely helps," Aiello said. That pain cuts even deeper now, after a ruling from the Illinois Gaming Board, which denied Aiello's complaint to be paid for his parlays, with an explanation that makes him even more frustrated. BetMGM admitted to investigators that pricing was "not properly updated" when Aiello placed his bets. "What probably happened is they had a glitch," said gaming consultant and attorney Elihu Feustel, who writes books to help gamblers game the system. Feustel wants wagers to win, but said the odds originally posted for Aiello's bets were definitely odd. "MGM caught the mistake, and they canceled it before the game was played, which is a big deal," he said. Feustel said it doesn't matter that the term "human error" appears no less than six times in the state's ruling. How can a human error be permissible? "Let's say I send a $200 deposit to my bank, and they credit me with $20,000 because of a typo. That's a human error, and under gaming law and under contract law, when there's an obvious mistake, the transaction is voidable," Feustel said. Aiello feels down on his luck. He's questioning how the "obvious error" and "inflated odds" got past BetMGM traders, who he said reviewed and accepted at least one of his bets that would've won him thousands. "I figured that they would be honored; and, you know, them making a mistake, I feel like I should be owed something," Aiello said. Had Aiello's bets gone through with the proper odds, it appears he would have won approximately $40,000, but it doesn't seem BetMGM will pay that out either. They didn't respond to that question on Friday. Aiello said he has reached out to a couple attorneys about the possibility of filing a lawsuit, but so far no one will take his case.

ATF offers $5,000 reward for tips after Tesla firebombing in Kansas
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is offering a $5,000 reward for information related to a Tesla firebombing in Kansas in April. Security cameras captured a suspect throwing two lit Molotov cocktails at the back of a Tesla collision center in Lenexa, Kansas, around 1:05 a.m. on April 3, 2025, the ATF said in a news release. The suspect drove to and from the scene in a vehicle, the ATF said. The suspect has not been identified and the ATF did not describe the vehicle. Investigators have labeled the incident an "intentional act of arson," the ATF said. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and local police are also investigating. "This was a calculated attack that could have caused significant harm," said ATF Kansas City Special Agent in Charge Bernard Hansen in the news release. Anyone with information about the attack is asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. To be eligible for the ATF reward, a person's tip must lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the attack, the agency said. Tipsters looking to receive reward money must leave their name and contact information, the ATF said. "If you saw something or know something—even if it seems minor—now is the time to speak up," Hansen said. The incident is one of several attacks on Tesla vehicles and facilities since President Trump returned to office in January. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, served as a senior advisor to Trump and led the controversial Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE. A man was charged with arson and other charges in connection with an attack that damaged multiple Teslas at a Las Vegas dealership in March 2025. Another man was arrested and charged in connection with an arson attack at a New Mexico Tesla facility in February. Tesla showrooms and facilities also became the site of protests in the early months of Trump's second term.
