A viral post on X has sparked outrage after claiming that a man’s brand-new car was scratched with a sharp object while parked outside his house overnight. Shared by user @lakshaymehta08, the post highlighted the frustration of discovering damage to a newly purchased vehicle and attributed the alleged act to jealousy.
Expressing sympathy for the car owner, the user wrote, “A man bought a brand-new car and parked it outside his house. Someone scratched the entire car with a sharp object at night 😳 Jealousy is an ugly thing.
People who are jealous of you can go to extreme lengths to harm you and your things. Imagine buying a brand-new car with your hard-earned money, only to see it like this the very next morning. It really hurts 😭”
The post quickly
gained traction, prompting users to share their own experiences with damaged vehicles and express their frustration over what they perceived as a lack of respect for other people’s belongings.
One user recalled a similar incident involving their own car, blaming the behaviour on what they described as an inability to tolerate another person’s success. “What the hell man. This is one of the frustrating act in India. I can feel you buddy, My car was parked inside parking lot. Kids were playing in evening. Morning I went to car there was multiple scratches. In India it’s frustrating, people can’t digest the success of someone,” the user commented.
Another user took a stronger stance, arguing that stricter laws and tougher punishments were necessary to prevent such incidents. “It happened to me as well.. unless India fix it rule of law it will always be shit land… state should do minimum 5 years for these people in jail plus with manual labor so that they don’t drain state’s budget further,” the comment read.
However, not everyone was convinced that jealousy was necessarily the reason behind the alleged damage. One user suggested that children in the neighbourhood could have been responsible, writing, “Don’t underestimate kids in this area..100 pcnt some wicked kid must have done this”.
Another commenter speculated that the person responsible could be someone familiar with the car owner, suggesting that personal relationships might have played a role. “Definitely the first victim is his family relatives and second victims was his close neighbours or friends,” the user said.

“Ok. Yes. What was done to that car was not right. But I’m also interested on what has the car owner done to piss off the person who did that to his car? Is this person just jealous of everyone? Has all the cars on that area been scratched? There is more than meets the eye,” another user commented.
Others focused on the broader issue of respecting personal property and the need for accountability. One user attributed such behaviour to jealousy and a lack of consideration for others, writing, “Jealousy and antisocial tendencies. No respect for others property. If done by juveniles bad upbringing and sheer cussedness that needs strong punishment”.
