79-Year-Old Man Vandalizes Over 1,000 Cars in One Year

> For over a decade, residents of the O Calvario and A Doblada
neighborhoods in the Spanish city of Vigo have been living in
fear of finding their cars scratched or with toothpicks jammed
in the keyhole. The culprit? A 79-year-old man who has
reportedly vandalized over 1,000 cars in the last year alone.
>
> Most often than not, vandals try to make sure there are no
witnesses before damaging someone else’s property, but that’s
not how Jose Antonio V., a 79-year-old man from Vigo, operates.
He scratches parked cars and jams toothpicks into their keyholes
in broad daylight, with a total disregard disregard for
witnesses. And if someone dares to say something or try to stop
him, the old man gets aggressive and often hits people with his
cane. Police estimate that last year alone, the notorious vandal
damaged around 1,120 cars, and he’s off to a “great” start in
2019 as well, with evidence linking him to over 120 vandalized
vehicles.
>
> It’s fair to assume that someone so committed to vandalizing
parked cars at random suffers from mental problems, but the
doctors who evaluated him last year say that he is cognitively
well. He agreed to check himself into the hospital to have his
mental state assessed, at the request of local police, but after
three days doctors discharged him with a clean bill of mental
health. Doctors concluded that the only condition he suffers
from is a complete lack of empathy.
>
> “He is not sick, he’s simply bad and angry with the world,”
one police expert told La Voz de Galicia. “He is what they call
a very stubborn man”.
>
> Stubborn is a very accurate description of this elderly
vandal. Despite having been arrested dozens of times over the
last few years for property damage and physical aggression
against others, he refuses to change his ways. He goes out on
the street and scratches cars using a key or metal coins and
sticks wooden toothpicks into their keyholes.
>
> Jose is notorious in the two Vigo neighborhoods he operates
in. Almost all the locals know about him, and there are warning
posters with his face on them on every block, so people who
don’t know what he looks like can watch out for him.
>
> A spokesperson for the Citizen Security Brigade of the Vigo
Police Station told reporters that residents of the O Calvario
and A Doblada neighborhoods are scared of the 79-year-old man.
They are afraid to leave their cars parked in public places, but
also to confront him should they catch him in the act. The
vandal has previously attacked some of his victims with a wooden
cane or an umbrella, even breaking a man’s nose and cracking his
glasses.
>
> The local police estimates that Jose Antonio V. has caused
around 500,000 euros in damages just last year, but there’s not
a lot they can do to stop him. They have arrested him more than
a dozen times in the last few years, written him countless
fines, but as soon as they release him, he picks up where he
left off.

He's not sick, he’s simply a total asshole who's angry with the
world. Said the not-police not-expert
