A Topeka man's vehicle was damaged while he was staying in south Salina overnight last night.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported that a 46-year-old Topeka man and his employee were staying at the Roadway Inn, 3932 South Ninth Street last night. The employee heard banging and thumping noises around 1:45 a.m. this morning. He looked out the window and observed a blue pickup truck parked next to his boss’s vehicle, Forrester noted. The pickup then was observed leaving the parking lot and heading north on South Ninth Street, he added.

The 46-year-old Topeka man went out and discovered that his 2013 Nissan Rogue had damage to the rear bumper with a dent on the right side, Forrester reported. The bumper had shifted approximately an inch. The damage did not appear to have been caused by a vehicle, he added.

Total damage was estimated at $1,000, according to Forrester.
