Woke up to my car covered in fingerprints.

Let me give a brief context of my setup for a better understanding of what I’m working with. I have a mesh window cover that goes on the whole window which I use as a bug net, and then I put my window cover (weathertech window covers, so nothing ‘diy’) in between the net and the window but I keep it about an inch from fully covering my window since I leave the window cracked for air. I also have rain guards on all 4 windows so you can’t actually see that the window is cracked at all.

So anyway I went to sleep last night around midnight in a place I’ve stayed at multiple times. When I woke up I saw my back door window covers were a little lower than where I put them but I thought nothing of it as it’s been extremely windy here recently and in the past they also have fallen down a bit due to wind. I quickly take my window covers off and head over to a storage unit as I do every morning and when I get out I see dusty fingerprints like these everywhere. On my rain guards, all 5 door handles (including trunk), and on the windows too. I know these aren’t mine since I never touch my car in these places and I just got my car washed 2 days ago.

After inspecting my car and seeing this my stomach began to turn and I probably shit myself. I haven’t even been sleeping in my car for 2 full weeks and there’s already some shady fucker in one of my parking spots. I do have pepper spray within arms reach of where I sleep, but that seems a bit risky to even use in a car as the likelihood of it actually hurting me is pretty high.

Just curious what do I do moving forward? I’m homeless because I have no choice and the money I have right now is basically for food and gas to get to my shitty low paying job. Of course I’m trying to apply to better paying jobs but it’s pretty difficult to do anything with what I’m pretty sure is a torn meniscus I’ve been dealing with. I don’t have health insurance and can’t get it through my employer and it just feels like I’m running out of options. My life is seriously at one of the lowest points it’s ever been and I’m really trying to keep fighting but I’ve seriously never felt more hopeless.
