An elderly woman has appeared to key a stranger\u2019s Tesla<\/a> in a random attack at a train station in south-east Queensland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Tesla\u2019s built-in security cameras captured the woman walking past the electric vehicle at Petrie Station on Saturday night. The woman appeared to stop, turn back and then allegedly scrape a key along the Tesla\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

An elderly stadium worker is being investigated after allegedly keying a Tesla parked at a train station in Queensland.\u00a09News<\/p>\n

Car owner Lindsey returned to her vehicle just nine minutes later, completely unaware of the damage until she checked her Sentry Mode footage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first I was just utterly shocked,\u201d Lindsey told 9News.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t believe anyone would have the audacity to key anyone\u2019s property.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe actually thought she had fallen on the car, so I zoomed in and realised she was actually keying the car.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindsey, a mother of two who had parked in the disability bay<\/a> because her children have special needs, said she was baffled as to why her car was targeted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think I would ever be a target,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone\u2019s got their hypothesis \u2014 does she not like Teslas? Just why? Why would you do this?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindsey said she was baffled as to why her car was targeted.\u00a09News<\/p>\n

Footage appears to show the woman wearing a uniform indicating she had been working at Suncorp Stadium, which had hosted an NRL clash<\/a> between the Brisbane Broncos and the Dolphins earlier on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Suncorp Stadium confirmed the woman was an employee and said that management was aware of the video circulating online.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said Suncorp Stadium did not condone the behaviour and a formal internal investigation had been launched.<\/p>\n

While damage to the car was minor, Queensland Police<\/a> have been provided with the footage as investigations continue.<\/p>\n
