Copper thieves vandalize Rosa Parks' Montgomery home

Copper thieves vandalize Rosa Parks' Montgomery home: MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Copper thieves struck the apartment complex where Rosa Parks lived when she made civil rights history, and authorities are seeking the public's help in catching those responsible.

Parks' former apartment, unit 634, was one of many in the Cleveland Court Housing Community heavily damaged in thieves' hunt for copper pipes and tubing over the weekend.

The Montgomery Housing Authority, which oversees Cleveland Court, reported extensive interior damage Monday night to kitchens and bathrooms in 11 of the buildings on Rosa Parks Avenue.
