AUSTIN — Scotty Grossbard has been trying to get tiny shards of glass out of his Jew Hungry? food truck since Friday. He finds them on the floor, the driver's seat -- even on his grill.
Day four of cleaning up his food truck also revealed other small yet shocking details, like one of the switches on his grill was broken.
"I reached in there and another piece fell out, and I electrocuted myself just a minute ago," Grossbard said.
They are details that are still upsetting the 37-year-old food truck owner.
"I really just wanted to let the community know that hatred is here, that it's happening here in Austin, that it's not just happening in other states and cities, that it's happening here in Austin. And it's sad and it's heartbreaking," Grossbard said.
Austin Police said the break-in happened Thursday morning, after Grossbard said someone used a large stone and broke the driver's side window and left a metal cross with some change in the driver's seat.
Grossbard calls it an antisemitic message.
Austin Mayor Steve Adler has another name for it.
"It appears like a hate crime to me. It appears as if this is a crime targeting someone because of their religion," Mayor Adler said.
The Anti Defamation League (ADL) based in Austin is worried too.
"One, the owner is Jewish. Two, after looking at your report, it looked like a standard break-in, however, the thing that was concerning about it is what was left in his truck," Renee LaFair, Regional Director of ADL Austin, said.
But Austin Police said it's not up to them to investigate if this as a hate crime.
That is up to the District Attorney's Office.
In th meantime, as Grossbard gets rid of the rock that was used to break into his food truck, he said he is scared but isn't going anywhere.
"I'm not going to hide, I'm not going to run away," Grossbard said.
Grossbard is now hoping to find an artist to paint the words "Together We Stand" and a giant Star of David on his food truck.
He also said he is overwhelmed by the show of support from the community.
