Racist and nasty

Although the S. family park their cars legally in the public parking lot in their residential complex in Moritz-von-Schwind-Gasse in Kottingbrunn (Lower Austria), they regularly find hateful messages on the windshield, including spit. A complaint has already been filed. 

Ms. S. was amazed when she found the first note with the hateful inscription: "Park somewhere else, get it? you S..." on the windscreen of her parked car a few weeks ago. She didn't think much of it at the time, but the messages became repetitive - and increasingly hateful and racist. "My husband has a company car with a Hungarian license plate," was the reason why all the other messages then also referred to his nationality.

Victim accommodating towards perpetrator
The S. family is not aware of any guilt, as their cars are parked in two public parking spaces belonging to their apartment in Moritz-von-Schwind-Gasse in Kottingbrunn, district of Baden. "Someone obviously thinks these two parking spaces are their private parking lot," suspects S.: "My husband has even left his phone number on the window of his company bus so that the person can get in touch and the problem can be solved," reports the woman.

The car window is even regularly spat at. "That's particularly bad taste when you have to scrape saliva stains off the window after a night of sub-zero temperatures," says the car owner, who is very disappointed by such behavior.

Although the victims have already filed a complaint, the perpetrator or perpetrators have not yet been identified. However, Ms. S. refuses to be put down: "We will continue to be on the lookout!"
