A man who had had his car scratched over 20 times in the last six months finally managed to catch the perpetrator in the act after sleeping in the vehicle for a month.
Finding your car scratched is unpleasant, but definitely not uncommon, which is why Kot Matroskin, a driver from Minsk,Belarus, didn’t pay much attention when it first happened to him, about six months ago. But after noticing subsequent scratches on the fender of his Volkswagen Polo in a relativelyshort period of time, he started looking for clues about who might want to scratch his car and why. He was soon able todiscover that the scratching occurred only when he parked hiscar near a pedestrian walkway at the entrance of a park andseemed to be done with the same object, as the scratches alllooked very similar.
Determined to get some answers, the man left a note in the window of his car asking the person who had made a habit of scratching his car why they were doing it. He even posted his email address so the perpetrator could answer his question even if they feared a face-to-face confrontation. That didn't work out as he had planned as he got no messages. He then installed a camera on the dashboard of his car hoping to catch the person in the act but apart from some pedestrian passing suspiciously close to his car, the footage didn’t reveal anything useful. Matroskin realised that it was impossible to tell if someone was scratching the car as they passed by from the video, so he decided that he only had two options – find another place to park or catch this criminal himself.
So for the last month, he got up in the middle of the night and went to sleep in his car, hoping to catch the perpetrator red-handed. After analysing his daily schedule, he estimated that the scratching generally occurred between 4:00 to 6:00am, so he would set his alarm clock to 4:00am every night, put on thick clothes, grab a sleeping bag and spend three hours in the backseat of his car.
On the morning of November 27, at 5:40 am, he heard someone pass by the car, followed by the characteristic long scraping sound of metal on metal. He quickly got out to confront his nemesis, but instead of a man that he had expected to see, he came face to face with a little old lady with white hair sticking out from under a funny hat. He filmed the whole confrontation with his phone, adding that the woman only accepted responsibility for the scratches she left that morning, offering to pay him for the damage if he let her go without calling the police.
He eventually called the police and pressed charges against the woman, hoping to receive both compensation for both material and moral damages, according to odditycentral.com.
“I just hope that after doing the authorities’ job of apprehending the offender, they can do theirs by properly punishing her for her crime,” Matroskin said.

So absurd

Lol if it happened in naija?

hmmmmmmmmmm

Is that the best news for today

His days had not been rough, if not, he would have had a very deep sleep (that would take a very big bang to wake him).

I did the same and exactly at the quoted time. I was building my house. I realised every morning somebody had come to defaecate inside the building under construction. This is ominous, taboo and abomination from the part of the world I come from. I shouted to people around it wouldn't stop. I wrote on the wall it would not stop. I used scarecrow, it was a human and not an animal that wouldn't not differentiate an animate object from inanimate, it continued.
When all efforts failed, I decided to grab the bull only by the horn. I started going there very early in the morning. Then come the D-day. I saw in my hiding someone walking into one of the rooms of the building. I had wanted to raise alarm but I remembered the man might say he wasn't there to defaecate. Good enough it was in same room I was. I had noticed this act had been prevalent in this room. In front of me the man pulled down his pant. I never made a move he might claim he only wanted to urinate. This is no offence. He bent down backing me. I never interfered. I allowed him to complete the act in order to have a factual evidence. On completion of it all I stood up just behind and grabbed his shoulders pressing him down so that his buttucks would also have a share of the evidence.
The man started to beg. He was someone I know too well. I only told him he needed a 7-day prayer for deliverance. I called a pastor who did the prayer religiously for him and he paid the pastor.

If na naija, they will say he doesnt haven respect for elders

That man should be brought to Nigeria and employed either as DSS agent, police detective or in the EFCC

Lol the woman na winch

No way!
