I keep finding notes on my windshield whenever I move my car.

No serious damage yet - just a small dent that I wouldn't have noticed unless I were looking for it. Not worth contacting the cops or insurance yet. Is this common? I can't come up with a realistic scheme, but I feel like this is some sort of weird scam.

 

[Rudelord]

Do you have any weird bumper sticks or plates?

Some people can be petty.

 

[Dai101]

What kind of car you drive?

 

[ItIsOkBro]

The note writer would be my #1 suspect personally

 

[perfectchaos007]

OP do you have any bitter ex girlfriends who are weaklings?

 

[commedieu]

How many notes has it been?

Keep getting, as in these 2?

 

[Tom Nook]

Where did this happened? At home? Apt? Parking lot?

 

[Ken]

try leaving a bunch of mcDouble wrappers visible in the car

that will surely scare them away

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Sounds sketchy

 

[Ape]

Put a couple go pros on your interior

 

[GK86]

Sounds like a ghost.

 

[Reverend Funk]

someone hit your car and tried to bump out the dents with a hammer?

 

[cogent]

 

[SHAFT MASTER]

I'm betting that the person leaving the notes is the one messing with your car.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

It was me, Makai.

I hate your car.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Someone hits your car with a hammer and they leave just one small dent you wouldn't have noticed if you weren't looking for it? Sounds fishy to me. People that take hammers to cars aren't going to be satisfied with a tiny dent, they're going to break things.

 

[Makai]

What kind of car you drive?

Fiat

OP do you have any bitter ex girlfriends who are weaklings?

Not in this state.

Better hide yet, hide under them and catch him in the act.

 

[TheBowen]

Yeah seems a bit odd, and surely the police would have contacted you if something was reported about your car

 

[Dishwalla]

Hope your car burns OP.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Did you have a large sum of money in the car? Also was any family member a writer for a hit tv show.

 

[Jayof9s]

That's definitely odd, OP. Maybe just unlucky that it has happened more than once? I mean it's nice that your neighbors are so concerned though - just imagine if there had been more damage you'd want to know and have a witness.

The handwriting seems pretty distinct in the two notes.

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

Fiat

Dang I was sure it was going to be a PT Cruiser

 

[ChrisRT]

500 Abarth?

 

[ultratruman]

i'm guessing he was trying to 'ding' out the dent he made on your car with the hammer.

Time for a stakeout. Intentionally move your car, then stand out of view and wait for the culprit

 

[Ray Wonder]

Did they buy paper just to write a second note? Like hunny we have to get paper, if Makai's car gets beat on again I refuse to write another note on cardboard.

This or hide a camera in a window, check the footage.

Hate in this case appears to be justified

+1, my cousin vandalized my car about 10 times before found out. He was always the first one there to find it, and would call the cops.

Fucked up, I know.

 

[PillarEN]

A friend told me about his idiot friend who had a habit of knocking out side mirrors of non US cars. OK it was around the time of the financial crisis and this is the Detroit area we are talking about. Still, dumb people do dumb things.

My favorite Tracy Chapman song.

 

[epmode]

Good question.

 

[Chiramii]

Haha, good lord.

 

[Makai]

Just the state issued plate.

 

[Arkos]

I did it, lol. Fuck your car.

 

[MogCakes]

Hide Go-pros in your car, make sure they're not visible from the outside or by careful inspection.

 

[SynthFetish]

Hey OP, I'm sorry but it appears I've hit your car with a tank. Please contact me to discuss.

Seriously, looks fishy. I'd keep a vigilant watch.

 

[Palmer_v1]

Residential side street? Busy main street? City street?

Are you blocking anything in, like someone's mailbox, or maybe not leaving much room for someone to get out of their own spot?

 

[Lionheart1827]

Hammer to the side of your car. Was it near the door(s)? I remember there was some cars that would actually open/unlock if you hit a certain spot on the car hard enough on the door frame. Cant remember which car it was

 

[Spoiled Milk]

OP probably parks impossibly close to other vehicles.

 

[hobozero]

Did I miss something? What's with the Fiat hate? That a weird euro thing? I love my (Canadian) Fiat 500

 

[Stinkles]

I'm betting that the person leaving the notes is the one messing with your car.

Those two notes are written by different people.

So I assume it's a married couple.

I rented one once. It was weak to the point of coughing terror at highway speeds. It was cramped. The window controls ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE COME ON!!!!


I'm sure the Abarth is better.

 

[SchrodingerC]

This might happen to you soon OP

Some people are legit crazy, or just weirdly petty.

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

Hope it doesnt escalate mak

but sounds like it's a good time to keep some surveillance of your car for now

 

[Makai]

Just checked it. No new notes. Forgot to check if the brake lines were cut.

 

[Ape]

so the mystery vandal(s) cut your breaks?

 

[old manatee]

Set up a camera and catch them. Maybe it's someone you know.
