A Cuban woman living in San Antonio, Texas, took to social media to share a video exposing the intentional damage done to her car and several others parked at a shopping plaza. According to TikTok user @anisber_95, her vehicle was deliberately scratched, along with other cars in the same parking area.
"I always come to this plaza, and when I came out, I saw what they did to the car. Such malice! It wasn't done by another car or by accident; you can tell it was a deliberate scratch from end to end because they felt like it. Everyone on this side of the plaza had the same thing done to their cars. I got out of the car and saw these girls talking," she explained while showing the damage inflicted on the vehicles.
In response to this young Cuban woman's video, others shared their own experiences with such vandalism, while some advised her to take action against the perpetrators.
"Recently, the same thing happened to me. I had just bought my car, and it was because someone wanted the parking spot, but I arrived early, so they didn't get it. I didn't think to take a photo because I couldn't imagine they would do that," one user commented. "It's real malice. It happened to me too, and I couldn't believe it," another added. "Such malice, doing that without any common sense or love," "Here in Toronto, it happened to a car, but it had cameras, and they reported it to the police," or "Well, I'll tell you that it happened to my son last Friday from end to end," were some of the comments left for this Cuban woman.
