Heh?

Smart Cars Tipped  

In San Fransisco ... what passes for journalism ....

The lightweight cars all had shattered windows and some body damage, Shyy said, adding that police were looking for multiple people wearing black hooded sweatshirts who were in the area at the time of the destruction.

As she waited patiently for an insurance adjuster, Shelley Gallivan stood Monday afternoon near the fourth Smart car that was vandalized, a small white compact with a faded “Obama-Biden” bumper sticker. Gallivan was watching the car for her friend, Wendy Orner, who lives in Cincinnati and had a baby nearly two months ago.

The car was left to Orner by her 70-year-old father, who died in January. Gallivan said she found out the car was damaged when a neighbour texted a picture.

Orner said Monday that she still plans to sell the car when she’s in San Francisco for her father’s memorial in June.

“He was proud that at age 70 he was driving it around. He felt real progressive in it,” Orner said. “Although, I don’t know if anyone wants to buy a Smart car now after what happened.”

Gallivan said she moved the car from in front of her house to a nearby corner — despite her husband’s reservations — to allow a bigger car to move into the space.

She hopes the vandalism isn’t the start of a new trend.
