My car was damaged by ‘rude’ stickers complaining about my parking & it’ll cost me a fortune to fix – it’s so frustating
A DRIVER has been left frustrated and out of pocket after his car was vandalised by “rude” stickers insulting his parking.
Ryan Martin’s VW Lupo suffered “deep” scratches which could see his repair bill run into the hundreds.
Ryan, 18, had parked up in his hometown of Ramsgate, Kent, overnight, only to discover the foul act the next morning.
One of the stickers featured crudely drawn genitals and some choice language.
The tamest of the bunch read simply: “Stop parking like an idiot”.
But Ryan insists that there was nothing wrong with how he had positioned his motor and that it certainly didn’t justify the extreme response.
He told Kent Online: “It’ll cost a fortune – [the scratches] are rather deep so might not machine polish out.
“The stickers were right in the middle of my windscreen so someone has leant over and touched the car to put them there.
“It could be a zip or a belt buckle or maybe something more sinister.
“I’m new to the area but as far as I can tell not many people have had this happen to them.”
The shocked teen is now looking for CCTV recordings to try and identify the culprits.
In the meantime, he is looking at a bill of other £100 to respray the affected panels.
Estimating that he has spent thousands on the car over the years, he added: “I’ve put a lot of time and money into that car. It’s frustrating.
“People just need to learn respect.”
It comes after Marcus Rashford picked up a £60 fine for a parking mishap in his £280,000 McLaren while meeting a teammate for lunch.
