I went to Santiago yesterday with a friend I picked up in Sosua. We got back later than we wanted, there was lots of traffic by Puerto Plata where they were fixing the road and the traffic was getting backed up because only one lane was flowing.
By the time I left Sosua for Rio San Juan it was just getting dark. I’m pretty familiar with the route but this was my first nighttime journey. Before I got to Gaspar Hernandez and after I left Sabaneta, in one of the little towns, somebody threw something at my car. It felt like a mushy fruit, like an avocado or something with a lot of give. It wasn’t a rock or an apple. This morning we noticed a round spot on the windshield. My maid thinks it was a tomato. It hit on the driver’s side close to the side edge. I didn’t see it hit last night because my eyes were looking down at the road for holes. I felt it and heard it but didn’t see it or who threw it.
My friend had warned me about stuff like this, throwing things at cars to get you to stop so they can rob you. He mentioned even eggs as an example, which would be really hard to deal with at night because if you try to wash it with the windshield wipers, it just gets smeared all over.
It was odd I got targeted since I wasn’t the only car on the road and my windows are heavily tinted, my car came with a siren and loudspeaker in it and I had to change the windshield tint because it was presidential dark and you could barely see at night. Whoever did it is pretty ballsy since this was probably a government car before I owned it and they had no idea who or how many people were in it.
