Maurice Paradise spent about 10 years putting his 1942 Chevrolet pickup truck back together.

Last weekend, somebody broke into the garage in Spring Hill where he keeps it and trashed it.

They covered parts of it with white paint, broke all the windows, cut most of the wiring and more.

Paradise, who is 82 years old, is heartbroken.

“I have a hard time talking about it," Paradise said holding back tears. "To spend so much time working on the vehicle ... Someone had to be sick or something wrong to do that.”

The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office is busy trying to track down who did this. They’re asking anyone with information about this crime to call them.

Paradise says he is not going to fix the damage because he can't face what's been done to his truck.
