(Updated to clarify the damage was to the decorations) The decorations surrounding the headstone for former Iowa basketball player Chris Street was discovered destroyed last Tuesday. Chris’ mother, Patty, told KCCI she was devastated to see the damage. Chris Street was a basketball player at the University of Iowa in the early 1990s before he was killed in a car accident 27 years ago. Since then, Patty and her husband, Mike, have kept the memorial clean and decorated — a way for them to keep Chris close.

When she arrived on Tuesday to decorate for the holidays, Patty found her flowers had been thrown, the tiny Christmas trees ruined, and a few statues smashed. The most frustrating part of it all is that no other decorations belonging to Chris’ neighbors had been touched.

Patty found one Christmas ornament completely intact, a cowboy hat with “CMS” (Chris’ initials) written in Sharpie on the bottom commemorating the Hawkeye star’s love for riding horses. The Streets said they’ve had smaller incidents like this happen in the past but nothing of this magnitude. They say they’ve filed a report with the Indianola Police Department to possibly put an end to it.
