A 31-year-old man apparently got really angry in a parking lot and decided to smash a windscreen by throwing coins at it.

According to Gangseo Police Station on Monday, the hot-tempered resident, known only by his surname Lim, was arrested and charged with property damage after a poorly parked car led him to allegedly smash the windscreen.

The incident occurred on Aug. 27, when Lim became furious at the sight of his neighbor’s vehicle taking up two parking spaces in an underground parking lot at his apartment, police said.

In response, he grabbed coins from his pocket and started throwing them at the car, vandalizing the windscreen.

During the investigation, Lim confessed that he was “angry because the car wasn’t parked appropriately,” police told reporters.

The coin-thrower inflicted an estimated 1.5 million won ($1,350) in damages, police confirmed.
