Busson didn't want to show his face because of safety concerns but he TODAY’s TMJ4 he hopes whoever is responsible gets caught soon.
 
"It was a little shocking; I’ve never had any problems with any break ins or anything like that before," said Busson.
 
Busson isn't the only victim, Milwaukee police say multiple tires have been taken from cars on the East Side.
 
"That's kind of alarming because we don't have a lot of crime around here at least anything major," he said.

"They were nice about it," said Busson.
