Grandad mystified after ‘a***hole’ keyed into the side of his Range Rover
A grandad is at a complete loss for words after randomly finding an insult keyed into his Range Rover.
The 80-year-old, who has asked not to be named, left his car parked in an area of Birmingham on Wednesday.
When he came back he found the word ‘a***hole’ scratched across the doors and the boot dented.
The pensioner and his wife believe the damage was made during a ‘rage-fuelled attack’ but they do not understand what triggered it.
His 70-year-old wife said: ‘We all appreciate people can inadvertently cut other people up on the roads, but I think my husband would have remembered cutting up someone so much they followed him into the car park and did this.
‘He’s also aware of when he’s parking as it’s such a big car he might inadvertently park too close to somebody else and they can’t get out.
‘Even though he is 80, his driving is not bad. He’s not nutty.
‘So I have every reason to believe he would be aware if he had done something significant to someone else.’
She went on to argue that, either way, the ‘punishment wouldn’t fit the crime’.
‘Whatever he’s done, it didn’t merit that,’ she added.
The grandad was ‘unnerved that somebody could have so much rage about something’.
His wife said the whole thing was ‘horrible’.
They think someone used a screwdriver to key the insult into the side of the car and a bat to wreck the boot.
Police are investigating for criminal damage.
