Florida (USA) - A surprising twist turns the following case of vandalism into a laugh-out-loud story.

In the lead role: 18-year-old Evelina Fabianski from Deltona in the US state of Florida , her girlfriend, who is two years younger, and a black Nissan Infiniti.

As the Volusia County police announced on their Facebook channel, the two teenagers had planned an "attack" on the night of February 26 (local time).

Fabianski wanted to take revenge on her ex-boyfriend with the support of her friend and chose his great love - his car. Armed with yellow spray paint and eggs, the two teenagers set to work defacing the dark Infiniti.

A police photo shows the result. The car was scrawled over extensively and raw egg was spread across the front and side windows.

A patrol had become aware of the girls after the attack. Yellow paint on their jogging bottoms made Fabianski suspicious.

What the young people didn't know until then: The paint attack had hit the wrong person! Instead of harming their ex-boyfriend, they graffitied a neighbor's car.

"It's crazy. They picked the perfect color to contrast with the black," Jonathon Edwards, the actual victim, told FOX 35.

He has since scraped the paint off the windows with a razor blade to have a clear view while driving. He does not yet know who will pay for the complete cleaning.

Meanwhile, Evelina Fabianski can expect a hefty fine. The police were not only able to prove that she had sprayed, but also discovered two open cans of alcohol and an empty bottle of whisky in her car. According to US law, she would have had to be at least 21 years old for this.

Meanwhile, spray-painting victim Edwards had an urgent message for the young woman: "You're 18. There's no point in ruining your life so early because of a guy."
