| Parking |
 Title text: Police reported three dozen cheerful bystanders, yet no one claims to have seen who did it. |
Explanation
There is nothing more annoying than a person who decides their car is so important that they have to build in a buffer-zone to their parking job so that no one else can have the possibility of accidentally scratching their car. Okay, there is something more annoying than that: if the parking lot is full and one person has decided to do that. There's a few solutions to this problem Inform them of their wrong doing, or move their car. Of course, Black Hat takes the path less traveled and solves the problem by using a blow torch and what looks to be a circular saw to cut the car in half and move the part that is in his preferred spot into the empty part of the other spot.
Apparently, he's done this kind of thing before.

Still waiting (read: hoping) to see a story about this in real life. Complete with the cheerful-but-circumspect bystanders. 173.245.54.11 18:16, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- There has been a russian mayor using a tank to crush illegally parked car. It is not the same thing, but close. 108.162.229.35 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I feel I should point out that Vilnius, where this happened is in Lithuania, which has been independent of Russia since 1918 (occupied by soviets for a while, but still fully independent for the last 27 years). Also worth noting the actual crushing was a setup with a prepared car, especially for publicity. 108.162.249.4 16:27, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
I like how Black Hat has seemingly tried to respect the parker's wishes by retaining the apparently desired angle of the (pieces of his) car to the kerb.
I don't think the bystanders were wary of possible revenge from Black Hat. They were cheerful, not fearful. 108.162.219.223 23:53, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
I think black hat merge with the psychologist. Mikemk (talk) 20:47, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Is it just me, or does it look like Black Hat welded the car back together after moving the offending half? Anonymous 08:25, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Good point, there are tack marks. 108.162.221.40 14:41, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
I started by wondering whether the vehicle models were recognisable, then I noticed that, rather unusually, I would say, Randall mis-observed a detail repeatedly: the windscreen/windshield trapezoids are oriented the wrong way—the shorter parallel side should face the roof of the car, the longer parallel side the bonnet/hood. 108.162.246.215 15:29, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
From a Reddit post I just came across the idea that the red car's owner might have been forced to park that way due to someone else before. D: 103.22.200.72 06:44, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
