Imagine all the angry people.

Lincoln police are looking for a man, who apparently looks like John Lennon, who’s wanted in connection with 11 garage break-ins in south-central Lincoln.

Victims living in seven of the 11 homes hit on the 2600 block of Piccadilly Court said whoever broke into their garages opened some type of liquid — motor oil, paint primer and the like — and dumped it on the floor or on vehicles, Officer Katie Flood said.

At one home, she said, the perpetrator took chemicals from the garage and dumped them over and inside a Toyota 4 Runner and push lawn mower.

According to police reports, the break-ins resulted in damages and thefts totalling $4,967.

Flood said the man, seen by a victim at 6:45 a.m., had been described as white and in his early 30s, about six feet tall with a thin build and light brown hair. He wore square-frame eyeglasses and looked just like Lennon.

" Will she never stop???? First she breaks up the Beatles, then she has me climbing ladders in museums to look through a pinhole in the ceiling, and now she's pouring motor oil all over the vehicles of Jon Camp supporters? Will the madness never end? "

" I know there will be jokes, but this is a serious deal people. People had paint, oil and other chemical strewn about the inside of their cars. I hope they catch this bum and make him scrub every drop of chemical with a toothbrush from these people's possesions. "

" That's right! ! It was a hard days night and I should have been sleeping like a log but I searched and found John with his toy yellow submarine just off Abbey Road. I stopped him and he yelled Help but it was too late he was just acting naturally. "

" C'mon, this is serious - this happened a block from my mom's house. Hopefully, the Lincoln cops are more effective than Omaha's finest, and the citizens are more cooperative than those in North O, or else this loser will never be caught. "
