'It's getting ridiculous': California dental practice repeatedly vandalized

Bubbles in an outdoor water fountain is the latest instance of vandalism that has plagued a Salinas, Calif., cosmetic dental practice several times a month, according to local CBS affiliate KION.

"We hired our own security, but they can't be here 24 hours a day, so it's getting ridiculous," Dental Concepts and Orthodontics owner Robert Zernicke, DDS, told KION.

Staffers told KION they arrived to work Sept. 23 to find the bubbles in the fountain, but cars also have been stolen from the practice's lot as well as security cameras.
