In Petrozavodsk, residents reported that a girl was drawing on parked cars using stones. The event appeared in a group titled Accidents in Petrozavodsk and Karelia on VKontakte.
According to the post’s author, the incident took place on July 6 near a residence on Pitkyarantskaya Street. Witnesses described a child, estimated to be about five to seven years old, moving among cars that were parked along the curb. The owner of one vehicle had stepped away briefly, and the child then redirected her attention toward the row of cars in the lot.
What was observed? It was reported that the girl moved around the car with stones in her hands. A local car owner approached and asked the child not to damage the vehicle’s surface, hoping to deter any further activity near the car.
Despite these warnings, the child attempted several times to damage the paint on other vehicles. The owner of the originally targeted car decided to relocate his vehicle to avoid further incidents. After the move, the resident noted visible scratches on the paintwork that suggested aggressive contact with the car surface.
One observer urged the girl’s guardians to supervise more closely, expressing concern and calling on neighbors to stay vigilant. The sentiment echoed by several residents was a reminder to keep a watchful eye on children in shared spaces, particularly around parked cars where surfaces can be easily scratched.
In a related note from this summer, a separate incident involved a very young child found inside a locked car in another region, underscoring safety concerns about unattended children and vehicles. The stories collectively highlight the importance of supervision, the potential for property damage in communal areas, and the need for quick action when such behavior is observed. This account is shared for awareness and safety considerations among families and residents in similar neighborhoods.
