An angry shopper has vented their frustration at someone's double-park at a busy shopping centre on Wednesday, piling trolleys against the car's door and leaving a note calling the driver an "asshole".
The problem is, the vehicle was being used by a disabled shopper who had parked across the two standard bays - as all the ACROD parking spots were in use.
Witness, Alex, said she had driven to Garden City shopping centre in Booragoon with a friend on Wednesday, when she noticed the vandalised car and alerted centre management to remove the trolleys.
"I was just disgusted by it," she said.
"The ACROD sticker was clear as day in the windscreen, I can't believe someone has done this to this car.
"Some people are just so ignorant to what an ACROD sticker is and why people need to have that room to open their doors fully [to allow wheelchair access in and out of the car]."
The Hyundai had been dented and damaged by the trolleys, which Alex said had been stacked on top of one another and rammed against the car.
"They'd obviously taken a lot of time to do that for something so ridiculous," she said.
"I really hope the person who did it gets caught because they've damaged a person's car, and even if the person did park like that and they didn't have an ACROD sticker, you don't vandalise someone's property."
A spokeswoman for Garden City shopping centre confirmed on Thursday that security were aware of the incident and had noted the car's number plate, but had not been contacted by the vehicle's owner.
"Unfortunately it did occur in our car park," she said.
"All the ACROD bays in the centre were all taken so that customer unfortunately had to seek an alternative.
"It's sad that it was taken that far... [the vehicle] had a wheelchair facility inside the car and had the ACROD sticker."
Centre management did not consider fining the disabled driver for the double-park, with the spokeswoman saying security were understanding of ACROD sticker holders who needed extra space to park if there were no ACROD bays available.
The Director General of the Disability Services Commission, Dr Ron Chalmers, condemned the actions of the vandal however, said an ACROD parking permit did not allow the holder to park their vehicle across multiple standard parking bays regardless of whether Blue ACROD bays were empty or not.
"It is disappointing that a member of the public has sought to inconvenience a person with a mobility restriction as a protest against their decision to park inappropriately in a shopping centre," he said.
"While an ACROD parking permit does not allow the holder to park their vehicle across multiple standard parking bays, regardless of whether Blue ACROD bays are empty or not, people with mobility restrictions can become frustrated when designated blue bays are occupied by people who do not have authority to do so. "
"Unfortunately the inappropriate use of ACROD parking bays significantly increases during the Christmas holiday period. People without a valid ACROD parking permit should refrain from using bays designated for people who have legitimate mobility restrictions."
Dr Chalmers said in a commercial shopping precinct, the response to an inappropriately parked vehicle with an ACROD permit would depend upon the guidelines set by the centre manager and the attitude of the centre management staff.
"In street parking, where local government authorities have authority for parking, the response will be dependent upon the local government parking by-laws," he said.
