  • Same. My car was keyed this week and I’m 80% certain it was because I stood there next to my vehicle and put on a mask before going into the grocery store. The person in their car next to me was staring intently at me but I didn’t think much of it except to feel embarrassed someone was perceiving me. Came out after like 10 minutes and it was obviously keyed.

    I still wear a kn95 mask in public because I help out my 95 year old grandmother who is dying of cancer. She’s still in good spirits and we want her to die in her sleep, not gasping for breath because somebody gave her covid. Not that I should have to justify myself.

    But yeah. No. The assumption of “deep down people are mostly good” died with covid.














  • In a subsequent update article it was explained what happened. It was not stealing a driveway, which was a regular paved driveway.

    The scam was one of those bad check scams. Someone pretended to be a homeowner asking a contractor for a task. Contractor does task, fake homeowner gives a check but uh oh it was for the wrong amount, can you just refund me the difference?

    Check is bad. “Refund” is good. Scammer has money and disappears. When the contractor goes to collect the homeowner isnt the person they dealt with.
