Radical leftists across the nation have been vandalizing Teslas and torching dealerships, all fueled by their irrational hatred of Elon Musk. However, in a surprising turn, one of these unhinged individuals actually made it easier for law enforcement this week.
As NBC 10 Philadelphia reported, an unidentified male was caught on tape vandalizing a Tesla in the parking lot of a Planet Fitness in Doylestown Borough on Monday.
The Bucks County Courier Times reported the man responsible for the vandalism is 55-year-old Chadd Ritenbaug of Doylestown Township.
The Central Bucks Regional Police Department reported that the suspect was captured on the car’s cameras parking next to the Tesla and exiting his silver Lexus. The video then shows him squatting behind the vehicle and carving a swastika into the Tesla just before 9:30 a.m.
But instead of fleeing, Ritenbaugh made another incredibly foolish move—one that would come back to haunt him.
After vandalizing the Tesla, Ritenbaugh walked into Planet Fitness, scanned his membership card at the front desk, and proceeded to work out as if nothing had happened.
Ritenbaugh’s decision allowed police to identify him through his gym membership card and Pennsylvania driver’s license photo.
Ritenbaugh faces misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief, harassment, and two counts of summary harassment and disorderly conduct. According to Patch, he was arraigned on March 28 before Judge Mark Douple.
His bail is set at $25,000.
The irony of this incident is amplified by the fact that Ritenbaugh reportedly has a LinkedIn profile, where he lists himself as the owner of Black Car Service of Bucks County, PA— a business that’s actively hiring.
