A Philadelphia resident arrested for slashing the tires of dozens of cars in his neighborhood, including his own, while talking openly with reporters about what he would do if he caught the alleged vandal, is likely a thrill-seeker, says Temple psychologist Frank Farley, a faculty member at Temple’s College of Education. “Thrill seekers love the attention of the news media because they capture the attention of a much larger audience,” he said.
