Simas Kučas has reported a disturbing act of vandalism at his rented apartment in Palanga, Lithuania. He discovered that crosses had been carved into his balcony, an act he described as defacement.
Yesterday I received news that the balcony of my apartment, which I rent in Palanga, has been defaced, crosses have been carved into it.
The incident has caused distress to the apartment's owner, who Kučas says is frightened and has requested he vacate the premises. However, Kučas, who was working in Nida at the time of the incident, has vowed not to let the matter rest. He plans to seek assistance from law enforcement.
The apartment owner is scared and asks me to move out because she is afraid. I am not afraid of anything.
Kučas indicated that he has a strong suspicion about the perpetrators. "I possibly know who did this. I have two options," he stated, adding that such hooliganism reminded him of his childhood. He directly addressed those he believes are responsible or aware of the incident, stating, "Those who knew about these attacks and didn't tell me anything – I know you. It will hurt."
We will return to many issues next week. And today we will see how our law enforcement works.
He expressed his intention to visit the police station next week and anticipates many testimonies, likely including claims of ignorance. "I know that there will be a lot of testimony – 'I don't know anything, I didn't see anything.' Fine, I understand everything. These are 90s thugs. It's now 2026, and I won't leave it at that," Kučas declared, asserting his resolve to confront the situation.
I possibly know who did this. I have two options.
