A Chicago woman was filmed in a rather outrageous act of defacement on Wednesday, using dog feces to vandalize a Trump-themed Tesla Cybertruck.
This astonishing episode took place in the vibrant Northalsted neighborhood while the Cybertruckâs owner, John Evans, was attending a conference.
Adorned with an American flag wrap and sporting a gold-leaf reproduction of Trumpâs signature on the tailgate, the Cybertruck became an unlikely canvas for the woman’s antics.
Upon returning, Evans discovered the unfortunate sight: his tailgate smeared with excrement, an act he suspects was spurred by the vehicleâs provocative imagery.
âItâs baffling that someone is so agitated by this that they think, âIâll ruin someoneâs day,ââ Evans remarked in an interview with FOX 32. âNow, the tables have turned.â
âHighlighted in gold leaf on my tailgate is a representation of President Trumpâs signature. I suspect this may have further riled the mental state of the individual who decided to target my vehicle,â he continued.
Footage from the Cybertruck’s embedded cameras shows the woman casually applying the feces before making her exit.
I was in Chicago today. This person thought it would be funny to smear dog droppings all over my Cybertruck. This happened at W Buckingham Pl and North Halstead. If you recognize this individual, Iâm offering a generous reward. pic.twitter.com/6Iesa1kKqE

Evans shared still images from the video on X, earning over 75,000 likes and 20,000 shares in a matter of hours.
Swiftly, social media sleuths identified the suspected vandal as Dorothy Owen, co-owner of Renegade Dog Services, a local dog daycare.
While authorities have yet to confirm her involvement or issue any charges, Owenâs business Instagram account soon posted an image of the vandalism juxtaposed with a mocking caption: âLetâs be honest, that could be anyoneâs shâty tattoos and saggy t-ts,â flaunting anti-Trump hashtags like #fâktrump.
This post sparked a wave of online backlash, including a deluge of negative reviews aimed at the business.
Declining to file a police report, Evans stated that public shaming is a sufficient form of retribution and expressed concern that law enforcement has more pressing matters to attend to.
When questioned by Fox 32 about a message for the woman, he said, âIâd say that as Americans, we all have an obligation to do better⊠such actions only exacerbate the problem.â
This disheartening display is not an isolated incident but part of an escalating trend of vandalism targeting Tesla vehicles, particularly Cybertrucks, amid heightened political discord. Since the beginning of 2025, reports of anti-Tesla vandalism have surged across the nation, often linked to anti-Musk sentiments and broader ideological divides.
To illustrate, in April 2025, a masked individual in Novato, California, was seen on camera hurling a rock at a Cybertruckâs windshield and slashing its tires.
Similarly, in March 2025, multiple Cybertrucks were ignited in a series of arson attacks.
