FAFO: Man Caught Carving Swastika into Tesla ID’d & Arrested, All Because of His Next DUMB MOVE

[Conservative Angle]

​

Among the rising wave of potential domestic terrorists (a spade is a spade is a spade…) some of these criminals have stood out from their cohorts.

Any idiot can key a car; literally dozens have been seen on camera etching one thing or another in the paint of Tesla vehicles around the country for politically motivated purposes.

Not to mention the dozens of incidents of incendiary devices and fire bombings with Molotov Cocktails that have hit multiple Tesla dealerships.

But it takes a special kind of stupid to basically get away with it, only to expose your identity afterward.

One man in particular has quite unintentionally made himself famous for his exploits, and we might never have known his name — except for the exceptionally dumb move he made immediately after.

You might have seen this video among the many others making the rounds on social media.

It shows the man’s attempt to be super stealthy (check out that ninja move!) as he exits his own vehicle — right next to his intended target — and proceeds to scratch a swastika into the Tesla parked next to him:

You might be tempted to assume this man was a highly trained Navy SEAL; some type of government super ninja, showing off that major stealth move!

There’s no way anyone would ever catch THIS guy — right?

Except, that bag he’s carrying is his gym bag.

And upon finishing his criminally bad Tesla artwork… he immediately walked to the entrance of his Planet Fitness gym, scanned his membership card with the staff, and proceeded to begin his morning workout.

Whoops! And that’s when Chadd Ritenbaugh of Doylestown, PA knew he’d messed up.

The Police in Bucks County, Pennsylvania were able to match his gym membership card with his Drivers License on record with the gym and easily ID and arrest Ritenbaugh for his trouble.

Chadd Ritenbaugh, the man who keyed a Tesla in Doylestown, PA, has been charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief and harassment, and two counts of summary harassment and disorderly conduct.

Here’s a quick news report from the local Philly NBC affiliate covering Mr. Ritenbaugh’s rise to fame among the loose knit community known as DUMB CRIMINALS:

BOOM: A man has been arrested after scratching a swastika into a Tesla in Bucks County, PA.

The man was identified after vandalizing the vehicle in a gym parking lot, then swiping his gym badge.

What a genius.

I’m still waiting on the DOJ to bring federal charges and put the fear of God into these criminals!

For now, Ritenbaugh is only facing a slew of non-federal charges including criminal mischief and harassment.

The incident took place shortly before 9:30am on March 24th, according to that same Philadelphia NBC affiliate:

A man is accused of vandalizing a Tesla SUV that was parked in a gym parking lot earlier this week in Bucks County, according to a spokesperson with the police department.

The incident unfolded when the Tesla was in the parking lot of a Planet Fitness in Doylestown Borough on March 24, police said.

A man was captured on the car’s cameras parking next to the Tesla, getting out of their silver-colored Lexus and ducking behind the vehicle before scratching what looked like a swastika into the Tesla just before 9:30 a.m., officials said.

The man then walked into the Planet Fitness and scanned his membership card with the staff at the front desk and goes to work out, police explained.

He was seen wearing a grey beanie, sweatpants, a black puffer coat with a light-colored undershirt and was carrying a blue and red bag that had white stripes, according to officials.

Officials were able to identify the suspect by his gym membership card and his Pennsylvania Driver’s License photo.

The owner of the Tesla in question returned home following her workout at the same gym, and noticed the scratch marks.

She then reviewed her vehicle’s camera footage, and discovered what had happened, according to a report on Phillyburbs.com:

Chadd Ritenbaugh, 55, of Buckingham, was identified after he checked into the Planet Fitness gym using his membership card following the alleged vandalism of a car parked in the gym’s lot, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Central Bucks Regional Police alleged that the Tesla owner returned home after working out at the gym and noticed fresh scratch marks on her vehicle.

She reviewed footage from the car’s camera system that showed a man park his Lexus beside her car shortly before 9:30 a.m. Monday. The affidavit said he then ducked behind his vehicle and appeared to scratch into the side of the Tesla.

Authorities identified Ritenbaugh through his membership ID and his driver’s license photo, according to the affidavit.

Ritenbaugh is charged with misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief and harassment, and two counts of summary harassment and disorderly conduct. He had not been arraigned as of Friday.

Sooner or later, someone at the federal level (Pam Bondi!!!) is going to need to bring federal charges and put a stop to the audacity of these people.

As journalist Collin Rugg shared on his X account, Ritenbaugh is a 55 year old car service company owner in Bucks County, PA.

To my first point, 55 year old car service company owners should NOT feel free to carry out these acts of terroristic vandalism without fear of the justice system!

Here’s the full text of Collin Rugg’s post summarizing the case:

JUST IN: 55-year-old Chadd Ritenbaugh busted for allegedly carving a swastika on a Tesla outside of Planet Fitness in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

The anti-Semite was seen sneaking around the car, not realizing it was recording him the whole time.

According to what appears to be his LinkedIn profile, Ritenbaugh is an “accomplished sales and operations management professional with 20+ years of international experience in the hospitality and travel industries.”

He appears to run a car service company in Bucks County.

He is facing charges of misdemeanor criminal mischief and harassment, as well as two counts of summary harassment and disorderly conduct.

It’s very easy to dismiss some of these cases based on the stupidity of the criminals involved.

On one hand, I find it truly HILARIOUS that people are so unhinged they allow themselves to get carried away down the path of idiocy, driven by nothing but their own emotionally immaturity.

But it’s also dangerous. It could end up getting someone hurt, or killed.

And at the VERY least it is exposing a lot of Americans to politically motivated property damage in line with the most strict definition of DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

It needs to stop. It needs to be dealt with firmly, and that “thin blue line” needs to be made a little bit thicker, so that the WILLINGNESS of the people behind these attacks is diminished greatly.

Until that happens, we will likely continue to see the sketchy end of the unhinged Left engage in nothing short of terroristic behavior, and for the most part get away with it.
