What's wrong with this picture?

My friend is a van driver back in England. Someone left this on his van today (he says he didn't touch anyones bumper).
I talked about the possible reasons with him when he sent it earlier, but can else understand why this fills me with such a sense of misanthropy?

As in, does it do that to you, or do you just see some idiot trying to extort someone?

Seems to be extortion. If he/she did no wrong, the camera footage is a ruse.
P.S. There seems to be a strange substance on that note.

I think the cops would love to have that, bank info, prints and all 
He can inspect his own vehicle for signs of damage, car damage tends to go both ways.
But in any case its an attempt at extortion, a crime as opposed to a minor traffic mishap.

Lol @ the dude threatening to "plaster him all over facebook" 
Yes I'm sure the world will explode in outrage over an alleged "tapping" of someone's bumper

Wouldn't this fall back on the company that owns the van not him personally? I'd just tell my boss about the note and that I didn't hit anyone.

I find it funny that there's no mention of how much the bumper should cost and no contact info to get in touch to find out, but just banking info to send a random amount of money to. I imagine this person puts this note on lots of cars and hopes some people send money.

Of course no one thinks it's anything to be even remotely concerned about.
What bothers me is that the youth of today must think that this is some how an acceptable way to conform oneself.
It just saddens me greatly. I know there are far, far, far greater injustices in the world happening as we speak, but for some reason, this just hit me somewhere vulnerable.

Tapping bumpers is standard practice in most warmer parts of the world
Thats why they are there
Tapping a bumper doesnt do any damage
I would suggest to call his bluff

Show it to cops... or wait, don't. There's no way somebody is gonna go to the cops and tell them you did that when they don't have proof. Idk, maybe show it to the cops anyway, the liar might try to say you did it without the footage, who knows. Crazy delusional people out there.
