A Washington, DC man who purchased a Hummer despite being in an environmentally-conscious neighborhood only owned the vehicle for five days before someone vandalized it.

Two masked men reportedly smashed the windows, slashed the tires and scratched into the body of the car a message: "For the Environ."

Garth Groves , the owner of the $38,000 sports utility vehicle, told the Associated Press that a number of people have driven by the crime scene with a smug look of satisfaction. His neighbor, Lucy Liem, who drives a Prius, told the AP that "the neighborhood in general is very concerned with the environment." Liem, whose Toyota Prius gets over three times the number of miles per gallon, said that although she doesn't condone violence, "it's ridiculous to be driving a Hummer."

The radical environmental group the Earth Liberation Front, active in the UK, Canada and the U.S., has been linked to a number of incidents targeting Hummers and Hummer dealerships since 2003. There are also many other non-violent groups, such as Code Pink, who have called for actions against Hummer drivers and dealerships. Investigators in this case, however, don't have any leads at the time.
