If I see a message scrawled on a car, it’s usually something dumb like “clean me” or “my other car is a Porsche.” However, one budding artist in Florida has taken their vehicular vandalism up a notch by writing “Fuck Elon” on more than 30 Tesla Cybertrucks in storage.

A parking lot filled with 34 shiny new Cybertrucks was hit last Friday. The collection of Cybertrucks was being stored at a lot in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, when they were, hit reports Futurism.

The trucks were being stored at the parking lot with little security, Futurism reports, before Tesla shipped the Cybertrucks out to their new owners. Because of the open storage location, the messages were spotted by a passing local who reported the incident to police. As Futurism reports:

“Vandalism is not acceptable,” the passerby, Yasser Rabello, told the local TV news outlet, stating the obvious. “It is illegal.”

Later that day, all the Cybertrucks — which are collectively worth around $2.7 million — were wiped clean and started attracting local residents and the curious who had gotten wind of the curse-laden graffiti job on the Tesla vehicles.

“It was just one row and then it was a second row, and then a third row and a fourth row,” Adam Docktor, who works in the neighborhood, told WPLG Local 10 about when he first say the tagged vehicles.

The spray paint might have been wiped off almost as quickly as it appeared, but that hasn’t brought an end to the issue, as police are now scrambling to find out who wrote the messages. No arrests have yet been made, but police told NBC News in South Florida that an investigation into the spray painting is ongoing.

The spray painting was carried out while the trucks were safely parked up in storage, before they could get out onto America’s roads and terrorize people with their sticky pedals, ridiculously sharp bodywork and openings that are hungry for limbs.

Six alleged fraudsters were arrested in Florida for stealing nearly $250,000 from senior citizens in the state through “grandparent scams,” Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced Monday.

The suspects reached out to seniors claiming to be one of their grandchildren’s lawyers and told the victims that the grandchild needed bail money after being arrested for hitting a pregnant woman with a vehicle, Moody said. The suspects then arranged for the victim to send them money.

All six suspects – Jairo Izquierdo, Gennesis Castro, Wendy Angelina Ortiz, Ada Tido, Wandy Castro and Olfa Cornielle – are charged with multiple first-degree felonies, including organized scheme to defraud, grand theft and criminal use of personal identification.

“These fraudsters know that most grandparents would do anything to help a grandchild in need, and through a convincing imposter scheme they used fear and family to extort Florida seniors—stealing nearly a quarter of a million dollars,” Moody said in a news release. “Working with our great law enforcement partners in South Florida, we were able to shut down this far-reaching grandparent scheme and now six fraudsters will have to answer for their crimes.”

After telling the victims the fabricated story about the grandchildren, the alleged fraudsters would pressure the seniors to provide bail money.

The suspects instructed the victims to produce the bail amount in cash and place it in a box that would be picked up by couriers – unknowing ride-share drivers requested by the suspects – who then transported the cash to an arranged location, according to investigators.

“I am immensely proud of the Miami-Dade Police Department’s Vice Intelligence Squad, for their exceptional collaboration with the Florida Attorney General, and federal agencies in successfully apprehending individuals involved in extorting the elderly population,” Miami-Dade Police Department Director Stephanie V. Daniels said in the release. “Their dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to protecting our community’s most vulnerable population are truly commendable.”

In some instances, the suspects contacted the same victim multiple times to demand more cash.

In one case, one of the seniors paid $9,000 before later being told that the pregnant woman miscarried her baby and an additional $18,000 was needed due to upgraded charges. 

The suspects then told the same victim that the baby’s father attacked the victim’s grandson for causing the miscarriage and that the grandchild elbowed a police officer during the attack, prompting a need for another $20,000 for bail, as well as $7,500 in court fees. The alleged fraudsters received more than $54,000.

A similar situation happened to another senior, who paid the scammers $53,000.

In another instance, a victim paid $8,000 and the suspects reached out again the following day asking for another $4,000 for the grandson’s bail after claiming the pregnant woman lost her baby. The next day, the suspects claimed the grandson owed medical bills because of the incident and requested another $1,700.

Another victim paid $30,000 for bail and later sent an additional $7,000 after the fraudsters claimed the pregnant woman died, causing the bond to increase.

The suspects targeted seniors in multiple counties, including Brevard, Broward, Lee, Miami-Dade, Orange, Palm Beach and Sarasota.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — On the second anniversary of the reversal of Roe v. Wade, Florida Democrats on Monday emphasized reproductive rights as an issue they’re betting may tip the scales in Florida’s 2024 election cycle. 

“Florida is on the front lines of this fight and we’re going to work every single day from now until November to take our rights and our freedoms back,” said Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried at a Tallahassee event.

The party’s eyes are fixed on Amendment 4, which, if approved by voters, would protect abortion access up to viability, which is estimated at roughly 24 weeks of pregnancy.

“We’re really trying to reach Floridians all over the state, whether they’re rural or urban, and that includes folks across the political spectrum,” said Natasha Sutherland, who serves as the communications director for Floridians Protection Freedom.”

A constitutional amendment requires 60% voter approval, and Amendment 4 faces considerable opposition in the state.

The amendment, among others, is on Gov. Ron DeSanits’ radar. He recently launched the Florida Freedom Fund to oppose to the amendment — and others, including an amendment that would allow recreational marijuana in Florida.

“I’m going to be involved in doing what I think is right for the state, whether its the political committee or other things,” said DeSantis in mid June, while also noting he’d like to impact some lower ballot races. “There’s a lot of things going on in the state.”

Florida currently bans abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for rape, incest and to save the mother’s life.
