Tesla Motors' electric, self-driving cars are already a thing of beauty.

But after Tesla's stock price increased after hours on Wednesday, a San-Franscisco vandal felt the car would look even better with some celebratory spray paint.

Silicon Valley recruiter Morgan Missen shared a photograph of her neighbor's vandalized Tesla on Twitter Wednesday. The expensive car was involved in what she felt was the “most San Francisco crime ever.”

A vandal tagged the car with its after hours stock price, Missen wrote when she posted a photograph of the tarnished Tesla.

Tesla's stock price ended up increasing by $9 to $211 after hours.

As you can see from the photograph, the Tesla appears to have the stock price figure, 211, spray painted across the car's driver-side window and driver-side body.

Missen posted a second photograph of the car from a different angle, admitting that her first thought upon witnessing the defacement was centered around the vandal's penmanship.

This isn't the first time a Tesla has been the target of a crime. Though this Tesla is now in need of a makeover, Missen shared that luckily her neighbor's other Tesla was left unharmed.

Phew.
