Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

The video quality is pretty good too.

CRIME Blog | The Dallas Morning News

Apparently this has been going on in Southlake for quite a while. A bunch of Hummers got keyed at DFW Airport too.

Re: Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

this kind of stuff pisses me off to no end. when he's caught, not only should he go to jail, for community service he should wash a bunch of government vehicles...

That guy is going to be really embarassed when he's in a courtroom facing felony charges at the ripe old age of 60+. Good luck in the clink.

Re: Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

Same here. SUVs (and trucks) get in the way of enjoying curvey roads but I don't go around vandalizing them.

Re: Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

Amazing! I thought people got wiser with age... apparently NOT this guy.

I'm betting he did all of them and his rage is fueled by gas prices or something stupid like that.

I like that motion sensored video surveillance system. Does anyone know if that is something available aftermarket or does it come as an option on a Hummer?

Re: Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

i wonder if he realizes hummers are actually becoming more fuel efficient for their size.

Not to mention there are super cars taht get worse gas mileage...

Re: Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

What a loser this guy is. He needs to get his head kicked in.

I recently polished out an 07 BMW 335I and the very next day the owner took it out to a fancy restaurant and when he came out he noticed the whole side was keyed. So, now he has to get it painted and have me wetsand an polish it out again.

The sad part is the restaurant is an expensive high line place with mostly older people, so it goes to show you can not trust anyone anywhere.

Re: Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

I absolutely hate hummers and most of their drivers. But I also hate people who key cars. Interesting position....

Unless this man has a serious issue with the driver which warrants such an action (and there probably wasn't), then this old man ought to pay.

One hell of a strong word choice for a stereotype, don't you think?

Ever consider that some people might use their Hummers? How can you possibly tell just by looking at someone why they bought their vehicle and whether or not it was justified?

Who are we to judge people for their choice of a larger vehicle?

Back on topic... I find that the old guy would make a lovely poster-child for a hypocrite cliche picture- considering there will not need to be all kinda of sanding of paint off of the truck and WASTED chemicals and paint and all kinds of chemical and physical waste to fix that. REALLY good for the environment...

Re: Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

So what kind of surveillance camera setup is that? Looks like it's pretty well hidden also, since that guy doesn't notice it at all.

Re: Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

I like that the Hummer is parked next to a Mini.

People that key cars = beat on by owner, imo.
