A 22-year-old man was recently accused of scratching a BMW sedan at a
dealership in Jiangxi City for a very bizarre reason – so his father
would be forced to buy it for him according to the “you break it you buy
it” principle.
The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Ji Moubing, reportedly visited
the BMW dealership on November 25th and expressed interest in buying a
dark blue sedan. Staff later told police that Ji acted normally and
actually seemed really excited, telling one salesman that his father had
promised to buy him a nice car as reward for getting his driver’s
license. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse after Ji called
his father to tell him what car he wanted.
It’s unclear what Ji Moubing’s father told him during their short
phone conversation, but dealership staff told police that after hanging
up his phone, the 22-year-old went into a rage, grabbed a pair of car
keys and proceeded to make a long, deep scratch on the back of the sedan
he seemed to like so much, before anyone could stop him.
A showroom salesman called police immediately after Ji’s reckless
gesture, and officers confirmed that he was the perpetrator by checking
CCTV camera footage. In his defense, the spoiled youth said that his
father had told him he wouldn’t buy the BMW sedan for him, so he
scratched it so his parent would have no choice but to pay for it. Talk
about a spoiled brat…
What Ji failed to factor into the equation was his arrest for
purposely damaging the dealership’s property. The case is still under
investigation and it’s unclear whether Ji’s father eventually bought the
car to get his son off the hook.
“He’s like a little kid asking for a gift from his parents. He
believed if he damaged the car, his father would buy it for him,” Chen
Junnan, a local police officer told Pear Video.
