Dude Dumps Dog Crap on FR-S Under Cover of Night

Wow. That’s got to be pretty high up there on the list for cowardly behavior. Vanadalizing someone else’s car is never really the right way to address an issue, even if it’s something easy to clean up. But dog crap? On the car of someone you don’t know?
