AN ANGRY neighbour has divided opinions after vandalising an elderly couple’s car bonnet for blocking the footpath. The couple, both in their 70s, had been babysitting their grandchildren at their daughter’s home in Sydney’s north shore on Saturday night.

Their fuming daughter claims her parents had parked their car on her driveway to help her OAP parents get into the home due to her mobility issues. Taking to Facebook, she vented her anger in her local community group. She said: “My dad parked in our driveway to help my mother get closer access to the house given her abilities.

She also felt the situation was unfair because people could still walk around her parent’s car.

I feel so sorry for this person in every way as they would have had so much hatred at the thought of walking around a car to go home and get a marker, come back and vandalise a car.” The woman said the matter could have been handled in another way. She said: “Just WOW!!! Next time be a big enough person to ring the doorbell and advise [us] directly so we can fix this in an amicable way and you can walk the straight path that you so desire. Or if you wish to remain anonymous write it on PAPER!” She asked the social media group for help in finding out the person responsible. But some local residents refused the woman any pity and said her parents should have known better. One person said: “Unpopular opinion, but I don’t have much sympathy available for this. Don’t block the footpath. Easy as.” Another wrote: “My elderly grandmother, who was disabled and couldn’t simply ‘walk around the back’ used to encounter this problem all the time.” Someone else said: “Vandalism is illegal, but so is parking across the footpath. If the mother has mobility issues, then they should have had more awareness themselves.” Most read in The Sun THREE AT LAST Little Mix can't resist dig at ex-pal Jesy Nelson as they kick off new tour GROUNDED Nearly 100 more flights cancelled today as experts warn summer will be WORSE BUG BEAR NHS chiefs call for return of masks & limit indoor mixing after cases hit new high OH BABY All the benefits rising for parents from today - when it will hit bank accounts BREAST NOT LOOK Richard Madeley doesn't know where to look as 'boobs' flash up on GMB BRIDE & VROOM Brooklyn and Nicola ride in £500k Jag as first official wedding pics emerge The mum did get some support however, with one person saying: “Wow I can’t believe someone did this what an a**ehole!!!!
