Friday 13 really lived up to its legacy for a Cedar Rapids man. On his way to work that morning, before sunrise, Casey Sheets made a discovery that likely made him wish he'd stayed in bed.

"I couldn't really see anything outside the garage,” said Sheets. “I felt something sticky."

That sticky feeling soon became a sickly one. Sheets found a horrible scene in his drive that looked like a horror movie scene outside the home on Old Marion Road, between F and E Avenue NE. His car, once a white sedan, had been transformed overnight. Sheets found it dripping in crimson red.

"It's just completely covered in paint," said Sheets.

So much-- Sheets couldn't see out the windshield. It got worse. His mom's SUV was splattered. Paint also covered the garage. It even reached a third vehicle next door.

The family called their insurance agents. Damage could top the thousand dollar mark for Sheets’ car alone. Mechanics said the cost depends on the type of paint used and if it got into sensitive areas of the vehicle that would need to be replaced.

"We were all like, ‘Who would do this?’” Sheets said. “Why is it happening?"

The culprit could face a class “D” felony charge for second degree criminal mischief, if damage is between one and ten thousand dollars. That's, of course, if authorities can find those responsible.

There aren't any fingerprints, nor any shoe prints. All authorities have to go on, a neighbor saw two men walking in the area before sunrise. Both were in pullover coats. One, had shaggy, gray hair and a backpack. The other, a goatee and baseball cap.

Sheets said, while he waits to hear back from his insurance agents, he’s been able to rent a car to drive in the interim.

He hoped for a better start to Friday 14.
