A DRIVER was left horrified after a stranger scrawled a rude message on their car, but people are divided.
Photos posted on social media revealed the car spray painted with the message “Free park” – which will cost the driver thousands to remove.
The poster uploaded a picture of two cars that were spray painted in RomeReddit @u/LazarusHimself
Reddit user @u/LazarusHimself says that there’s a vigilante in Rome that vandalises cars that are parked on the pavement or blocking disabled access.
And both cars in the picture appear to be parked on the pavement – which is illegal in Italy.
And they risked receiving a fine of up to £300 for parking there, according to the Italian Traffic Act.
The owners of both cars would probably have to respray them – which costs around £2,400.
The post has gone viral on Reddit with more than 6,400 views and 396 comments, but users are divided on who’s in the wrong.
One said: “This is such a good idea. I wish I had thought of it. We should make a thread for other semi-legal ways of vandalism that are easy to get away with, like this one.”
Another said: “I know many people don’t approve of this kind of behaviour, but I think it’s justified.”
A third pointed out: “I once accidentally parked in a spot that was for access to bins in an apartment block.
“Sometimes a mistake is just that, and people don’t deserve property damage just for that.”
This comes after a motorist claims that a stranger scrawled a parking complaint on their car even though they didn’t do anything wrong.
Plus, drivers have been left stunned after realising that their car has a hidden compartment to store cash safely, which could save them a bundle.
