Yishun Car Vandalism: 4 AM Antics Turned Vandal Fury
Last winter in Yishun, a seemingly ordinary morning took a wilder turn when a local man – now known as the infamous Swampy Wilson – filmed a bizarre series of actions that culminated in outright vandalism.
Morning of Mayhem
- 4:00 AM: The suspect was spotted, sitting on the road, already doing odd stuff.
- Chasing a cyclist: He jogged after a cyclist passing by, as if auditioning for a circus routine.
- Stalking a man from behind: In the same video, you could see him creeping behind a nearby gentleman – definitely not a friendly hoverboard.
- 5:00 AM: He finally turned to the unassuming target, the parked car, and started swinging a stick‑like object as if he was playing a prank on a highly sensitive antique.
- He repeatedly scratched the car surface – the method was as obvious as it was sloppy.
A Witness in the Cryptic Digital Age
Swampy Wilson, the owner of the scarred vehicle, took to Facebook to expose his culprit. He posted the raw footage and painted a vivid picture of the morning’s weirdness:
“I bumped into this guy at 4‑am without even knowing him. He didn’t look like the typical ‘Vandal bandit.’ He was more of a stream‑lined stalker. I only realized the damage when I walked back at 9‑am. It was pretty distressing, to say the least.”

After the Damage: Coffee and Police Reports
Feeling a mix of disbelief and melancholy, Wilson settled for a coffee to plan next steps. He eventually filed a police report, hoping justice could be served (and hopefully a fair weather forecast would replace the muddy mishap).
