A reader writes: "Last Thursday I flew from Auckland to Wellington overnight for business and when I returned to my car at Auckland airport, a green Toyota Prado, I noticed a note on an Eastridge New World receipt under the wiper blade.
It read "Thanks for scratching my door, asshole", which confused me a little as I drove away. Yesterday when I finally got around to the monthly wash I noticed that the note-person had also used a key to gouge an even more sincere signature along my door.
To that person, who obviously lives in the Eastridge area, it wasn't me, but thanks for the kind words and the panel job, may karma be with you."
