Pennsylvania Man Caught on Camera Carving Swastika into Tesla Makes Another Incredibly Dumb Move That Leads to His Identification and Arrest
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 29, 2025 | Staff

Credit: Central Bucks County Regional Police Department Radical leftists across the country have been vandalizing Teslas and setting Tesla dealerships on fire across the country all because of their blind hatred of Elon Musk. But in a twist, one of these unhinged losers decided to make things easy for law enforcement this week.

As NBC 10 Philadelphia reported, an unidentified male was caught on tape vandalizing a Tesla in the parking lot of a Planet Fitness in Doylestown Borough on Monday. The Bucks County Courier Times reported the man responsible for the vandalism is 55-year-old Chadd Ritenbaug of Doylestown Township.

The Central Bucks Regional Police Department said the suspect was caught on the car’s cameras parking next to the Tesla and getting out of his silver-colored Lexus. The video then showed him squatting behind the vehicle and proceeding to scratch a swastika into the Tesla moments before 9:30 a.m.

But instead of running away, Ritenbaugh thankfully made another incredibly foolish move that came back to haunt him.

After vandalizing the Tesla, Ritenbaugh walked into Planet Fitness and scanned his membership card with the staff at the front desk. He proceeded to work out as if nothing happened.

Ritenbaugh’s decision enabled police to identify him using his gym membership card and his Pennsylvania Driver’s License photo.

Ritenbaugh is charged with misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief, harassment, and two counts of summary harassment and disorderly conduct. Patch reports Ritenbaugh was arraigned on March 28 before Judge Mark Douple.

His bail has been set at $25,000.

This incident is made more ironic by the fact that Ritenbaugh apparently has a LinkedIn account which shows he owns a company called Black Car Service of Bucks County, PA. The company also happens to be hiring right now.

LOOK:

Credit: Chadd Ritenbaugh LinkedIn The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported on Tesla attacks across the country in recent weeks.

During one incident, a disgruntled Musk and Trump hater accidentally set himself on fire while torching Tesla charging stations in South Carolina. Another attack involved an individual setting several multiple Tesla vehicles on fire last week in Las Vegas.

Monday’s attack in Pennsylvania also comes after U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced last week that her office had charged three individuals with serious offenses. Each one of the lowlifes used Molotov cocktails to set Tesla dealerships and cars ablaze.

“ His bail has been set at $25,000.”
Pretty tough. If he had molested a child in Boston and was an illegal, bail would only have been $5,000.

Black Car Service in Greater Philadelphia & NYC - we carefully scratch swastikas into your car and are proud of our Nazi heritage!

Chadd Ritenbaugh will personally do the artistry himself! Once he gets out of jail...

Unlike the Antifa riots where the criminals usually got away with their crimes, these morons are looking at some hard time after they get caught. And for what? To try and intimidate a man who is saving taxpayers billions? I hope their fellow inmates think they look cute.

Every brainwashed democrat pawn is incapable of logic and reasoning.
They are getting caught because they can’t think for themselves anymore.
Their brainwashing leaders are just using them and don’t give a flying F what happens to them……or any of us for that matter. They’ve proven that many times.

Jasmine Crockett was asked if she would condemn the violence. Her response? She aggressively lashed out to knock away the reporter’s camera.

They need to own this.

Kamala Harris said there should be more of the George Floyd riots.

These people are doing what their crazed leftist leaders non-verbally command.

That guy OR “Black Car Service of Bucks County” has previously been in the news, here at FreeRepublic.com - a few years ago.

Actually, I’d prefer these idiots be slapped with a hefty judgment that will take them a really long time to pay off. Make it so DOGE oversees the garnishment of their wages that then get paid to their victims……for a long, long time. If they lose their job, they go to jail.
