Pattaya: Mystery attack on car parked on Beach Road Jomtien

 

Picture: Sanook

 

A woman out with her family having a bite to eat at Jomtien beach on Saturday night returned to her car to discover that it had been attacked with a mystery substance. 

 

There was a long line of bubbling paint on her red MG from the front tire to the rear. 

 

It happened about 8.30 pm. 

 

Jintara, 27, a restaurant cashier, said she feared for the safety of her family especially as she has two small children.

 

She said that the family has no problems with anyone. 

 

She went to the Pattaya police to report the incident and on Sunday contacted Sanook to appeal to the public for information that might lead to the arrest of the person who did it.

Mistaken identity?

That's an expensive repair.

It might depend on where she parked and whether she used someone's spot, or was too close or some other  petty reason. Just had ( hour or so ago) someone park directly behind me blocking me and another car in, and I really don't understand why.

They don’t understand why either - they just do it without thinking... Their attitude is just ‘so what’.....

 

In this case, someone has a tin of paint remover (or brake fluid) at hand to cause damage.

If this person has had no arguments with anyone, then its either a case of mistaken identity or a parking feud amongst nearby restaurants.

She sure makes a ton of money for a cashier! Who knew you could afford a MG on a cashier's salary, let alone a car!

Did that to my own car many years ago as a teenager, had a stuck front brake caliper piston, took-off the caliper leaving the hose attached, slackened the bleed nipple and put a clamp on the piston.

Yeah "hindsight" is a great tool, when the piston released it sprayed fluid out as a fine mist, which caught in the wind and covered my front wing panel.

Maybe it is a family car bought by her husband; not unheard of.

that is simply impossible! somewhere somehow somedody dislikes you or is envious of your car..or even just a passer-by wanting to make life difficult for you

[IAMHERE]

Hope the police are at least looking for CCTV coverage.  At least look for empty brake can fluids in the nearby garbage containers. More probably an empty can just laying in the street.

Suspect number 1 has to be the owner of the business she parked in front of.  I have had my car scratched from stem to stern.  On another occasion my back tire had a nail through a piece of wood inserted.  Thais are very territorial.

I have noticed they like to lay claim too, to territory that is not actually theirs to own.

That may be true, but there's a lot of shop owners paying the local mafia for use of that property they don't really have a right to.  Very often, mafia in uniforms...

Or financed, the way most people do it.

True

i had exactly the same experience in front of the White Inn hotel in Pattaya

(As you can see on the photos on google the hotel has ''privatised'' a part of the public street to turn it in a private parking with barriers),

 

A lot of place were available so i was thinking it was ok to park my scooter here, obviously the hotel guard wasnt' ok with that as  when i returned my back tire was flat.

 

150 bahts to change the inner tube, probably damaged with a knife, was the price of the lesson , never park in front of a business in Pattaya if you are not a customer of this business

MG's are made in China they are cheap and nasty

[HauptmannUK]

Some years ago parked in the car park at Khon Kaen airport. Came back two days later and there was a deep wavey scratch front to back.  Car was parked perfectly within the bay.

Chinese made MG's are some of Thailands cheapest cars.

yep. we have just got to accept that some twisted folk are just plain ass holes.  Parked my car up one day; came back after 60 minutes to find all 4 of my tyres had been slashed, no rhyme nor reason to it, just plain vandalism.
