WINONA, Minn. – An East Side man went out to his parked 2018 Toyota RAV4 to discover somebody had poured transmission fluid all over the vehicle overnight. This was about 10:20 a.m. “I know who did it,” the man told police. Officers contacted the other guy, age 60, who admitted to the deed. Why? Because the other guy had owed him $800 for three years. He hadn’t paid up so he decided to “hit back where I could.” Police delayed criminal charges until perhaps the pair sort things out. The incident was in the 850 Block of East Wabasha Street. Yes, transmission fluid is a corrosive lubricant. Some also splattered on a 2024 Camry.
