Or maybe you would've caught that tire iron on the side of your head. There was probably a little voice also telling you to be cautious. One of my friend's pulled over to talk to someone who flagged him down as if they needed some help and he would up getting held up at knifepoint. He said he'll never stop to help anyone ever again.

Dang, looks like there was a sticker placed on the window by maybe a homeowner association security or something. I wonder if this was the penalty for using someone's assigned parking spot?

Some people need to get a life / anger management therapy.

Wow, I commend your ability to empathize given the circumstances!

Regardless of how you acquired it (given/earned), still doesn't give someone the right to vandalize your property to relieve their own adversity.

This. Never stop to help someone, ever. Call the non emergency police line (or 911 if it looks serious) and ask them to send out help. Period. You're more likely to get injured, killed, or sued than actually help anyone.

But to answer your question, this was in a somewhat affluent part of the Washington DC suburbs.
Was it a "Don't tread on Me" plate? If a Virginia plate, looks like it.....

Unfortunately, the symbolic meaning of the 1700's Gadsden Flag as a anti-Brit symbol has changed. The picture is forming.....

Interesting responses. Like Rorschach tests, revealing.

At an airport, it is all on camera. Since 9/11, the surveillance at airport parking garages is unreal. If you ever forget where you parked your car, give your plate number to someone who works there and they will tell you exactly where it is parked down the specific spot.

This particular damage looks very personal. I concur with the comments suggesting a jilted lover. It also could be someone who got laid off, taking their frustration on the boss man's car.

I noticed the sticker as well. Wondering what that was for.

Looks like a crime of passion (he/she cheated). If it was some type of political statement, other vehicles would have been trashed as well.

Let's elevate the conversation, folks.

You make a good point... I find it very disturbing someone had that much time to damage this car, hopefully they got caught since we don’t know the whole story ... very sad anyone would do this to anyone else’s property and I would say this whether it’s a 992 or a 20 year old Hyundai.
