An individual who creeped into a Tesla Cybertruck owner's driveway in Novato over the weekend and vandalized the vehicle is being sought by Novato police.

Doesn't everyone know there are Ring cameras everywhere these days? This suspected vandal doesn't appear to know or care, and they can be seen staking out a driveway off a cul de sac in quiet Novato during the wee hours of Saturday morning — but they did wear a mask and dark hoodie, so they may have known cameras would be watching.

The person is first seen at 4:22 am wearing a white face mask, casing the area. And, as the time stamp on the video shows, this person returns at 5:41 am wearing a black mask, carrying a couple of pieces of concrete, and some duct tape, which was apparently used to cover over the Cybertruck's cameras.

Police say that after puncturing the car's tires, and leaving a note about this on one of the pieces of duct tape, the suspect then is seen throwing the pieces of concrete at the car's windshield and front end.

Anger at Elon Musk and the Trump administration is running high around the Bay and elsewhere in the country, and owners of Teslas are bearing the brunt of some of this anger.

"We are aware of another recent incident in Novato targeting Tesla vehicles and want to reassure our community that we are fully committed to investigating these acts," the Novato Police Department says in a Xitter post.


Police are seeking assistance from residents in the area of Jackson Drive, Truman Drive, Brown Drive, Garner Drive, and Washington Drive, asking them to check their surveillance cameras for any suspicious persons or vehicles between 4 and 6 am on Saturday.

San Jose police recently made an arrest in a similar Tesla vandalism incident two weeks ago in a Costco parking lot.
