In cases like this, the perpetrator needs to be made to buy the victim a brand, new house. That's a lot of money for a handful of underwear.

This is certainly a curious case if they are not acquainted with each other like the police say. And it does appear that she did not scribble them in one go but gradually. But the question remains why she targeted only his car.

She must've been really hungry to do that. But it is quite a bit more than what I usually pay for lunch. Anyway, I hope she can get back on her feet. It feels a lot better leaving a restaurant after you've paid the bill.
