Shopping at local market via our late-2014 Model S. Super busy parking lot. Returned w/ groceries to find what's shown.
My best guess is that the newly abandoned pry tool was used to attempt to pop the frunk (which was empty) and instead unexpectedly levered off the front piece. The frunk remained locked tight. Police officer hadn't seen a scene like this before.
I removed the wiring harness, a screw, and snipped thru the one remaining plastic structural connection. Was able to get a clean front end and drive home. Off to the body shop for what should be a relatively simple repair (i.e., part replacement).
Have thought about a blackvue install before but never pulled the trigger. Would definitely be nice if the on-board cameras archived even a few still images in response to stuff happening to the car. Although in this case I don't believe the car alarm was ever triggered.
