The act of vandalism was also done in broad daylight, where a few passersby were spotted strolling around the area.

Not one, but three times in total

Seemingly not satisfied with his first scratch, the man then goes back to the road where the Honda Civic was and gave another long scratch while walking around it.

He then moved on to the other side and left another “souvenir” on the Honda Civic before returning to his Proton X50.

Was queuing for the parking space along the road and the Malaysia Proton X50 car was opposite the lane.

There was a car turning out and I parked in to the lot. After awhile when I came back I saw my car was scratched from one side to another.

‘Make him famous!’
