Do you recognize this man? Watch till the end. A Viera resident is asking for the public's help identifying a man she says was caught on her home security cameras vandalizing her car in her own driveway Monday evening.Kim Dickerson said that after reviewing her footage, she found the man had apparently been parked in the alley behind her home for nearly an hour before she got there.Dickerson said she pulled into her driveway around 6:40 p.m. after a trip to Hobby Lobby and saw his car already sitting in the alley. She assumed he was a rideshare or delivery driver waiting for a neighbor.She and her daughter carried shopping bags inside. About five minutes later, she went back out and noticed his vehicle had moved farther up the alley, closer to her driveway.According to Dickerson, the moment she went inside and closed her garage door, the man got out of his vehicle, picked up a rock and began damaging her car. The entire incident was recorded on the family's security cameras.Dickerson told The Space Coast Rocket the footage also shows the man looking around at several neighbors' driveways before she arrived, but he spent most of that time parked across the alley from her home. She said she has filed a report with police and is hoping a neighbor's camera captured his license plate."I just hate not knowing if it's random or targeted," Dickerson said.If you recognize this man or his vehicle, send Kim Dickerson a private message.#Brevard #SpaceCoast ...
