In the picturesque suburb of Cremorne, nestled on Sydney's affluent lower north shore, a scene has left residents and Australians nationwide shocked and bemused.
A luxury BMW, with a price tag of a whopping $200,000, became the canvas for a very public and very pink plea for attention.
The grey X5 M model, a vehicle synonymous with wealth and status, was parked on a bustling street in Neutral Bay, drawing the eyes of passersby.
The words 'Nathan call me' and 'Nathan call me ASAP' were written on the bonnet and passenger doors, respectively, with the paint running and dripping down the car's sides in a desperate cascade.
The act of vandalism, or perhaps a misguided attempt at communication, was captured and shared by the Mosman Collective social media account, quickly becoming a hot topic of conversation.
The footage, accompanied by a caption expressing confusion and a hint of urgency for the mysterious Nathan to make a call, has sparked speculation and commentary across social media.
Such an audacious act seems out of place in a suburb where the median house price soars over $3 million.
It has led many to wonder what Nathan could have done to provoke such a public display.
‘Not sure what’s going on here,’ the caption said.
‘But if your name is Nathan and you own a flash, grey BMW that’s parked on one of Neutral Bay’s busiest streets, someone needs you to call them ASAP.’
‘I hope you’ve got the car detailer on standby.’
Theories and jokes abound, referencing everything from potential paternity surprises to scenes reminiscent of the thriller 'Fatal Attraction.'
While some viewers found humour in the situation, others expressed concern for Nathan, advising him to either make that urgent call or to run for the hills to avoid what some have dubbed a 'stage 5 clinger.'
‘Run, Nathan!’ one wrote.
‘It’s all over where Nathan obviously lives, too. Hope Nathan rings soon, or we will have a very ‘pink’ street,’ a neighbour joked.
Further reports suggested that the same pink messages were also found at a residence, indicating that the person behind the graffiti was determined to be heard.
However, the plot thickens as there may have been a case of mistaken identity or location.
Some locals have pointed out that the car and house targeted may not even belong to Nathan, with one neighbour noting that the graffiti also appeared on their garage door.
It's important to remember that graffiti is a criminal offence in New South Wales, carrying potential penalties including imprisonment and hefty fines under Section 195 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW).
If the property's value is $5,000 or less, the Local Court will handle the case.
In New South Wales, the maximum penalty for such cases is two years in prison or a fine of up to $5,500.
According to someone claiming to know him, he's currently overseas with his partner.
‘I know Nathan, he’s overseas right now with his partner! I’ll be sure to let him know!’ they wrote.
