In the latest example of life imitating art, a Florida man decided to pull a Walter Sobchak and attack the wrong car;

MANATEE — A Bradenton man, accused of having a personal vendetta against a friend, was charged with felony criminal mischief after deputies said he smashed the windows out of a car, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

Ryan T. Smith, 22, was arrested at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 300 block of Cape Harbour Loop, deputies said.

The victim, who knows Smith, told deputies he was at home when he heard a car door outside his bedroom window. The victim said Smith began smashing the windows of a vehicle with a baseball bat but it wasn't that of the intended victim, who drives a similar make, model and color vehicle to his neighbor's vehicle.

The victim told deputies Smith has a personal vendetta against him. The friend later wrote on his Facebook page Smith smashed his neighbor's car because he thought it was his.
