Beetle bashing

I own a Volkswagen. And my first car here in California was a Volkswagen Super Beetle. It was yellow with a black racing stripe on the door that said "Baja." When I sold it after getting married, I cried.
Men and their cars.
So yeah, I have an affinity for VWs.
Heck, these old Beetles made history. Some say they became the most lovable cars in American history. The old Beetles are sold at auction and fetch a nice price. They are valuable. Beloved,
Which is why I do not understand why someone would spray paint "LOL" (Laugh out loud in text parlance) on their VW Beetle, circa 1970s  or 80s. You tell me.
Or is that really a "L (heart) L." As in a love letter to a lover or friend?
I don't know. I couldn't ask the owner. I spotted the car in an alley here in Temple City just south of Las Tunas Drive and east of Temple City Boulevard.

As you can tell from the next image, the car has good wheels and the headlights are in tact. The body is not dented. I'm guessing the car runs since it was parked in front of a garage.It also has a license plate.
