The owner of the Lexus was moving into an apartment and parked next to an elevator at the complex, although not in a designated space. An elderly neighbor drove into the garage in a black Chevrolet SUV, saw the parking job, and said, “It’s not right.” When the Lexus owner returned an hour later, they found a utility cart had been thrown on the hood, causing several dents and scratches. The following day, the same elderly man asked the family that owned the Lexus “if they were the ones who moved in yesterday.”
