The stickers were also found at the following locations and intersections:

Minnetonka police have been brought into the investigation because Cargill's headquarters is in their jurisdiction.
The company's website describes Cargill as a privately-held company and an international producer and marketer of food, agricultural, financial and industrial products and services. The company is a favorite target of groups such as Occupy Wall Street, who view the company as controlling a monopoly on the food consumed by American citizens.
Anyone with information about the vandelism is asked to contact the Wayzata Police Department.
