A vigilante anti-urban sprawl group has claimed responsibility for vandalism of three luxury homes on Long Island.
Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction: "Police are searching for opponents of urban sprawl believed responsible for the arson and vandalism of three Long Island luxury homes on Long Island. Responsibility for the weekend attack was claimed by the Earth Liberation Front, which also took responsibility for a multimillion-dollar blaze at a Colorado ski resort three years ago. Police believe the group also is responsible for millions of dollars in arson and vandalism to six other unoccupied homes in the past month."
