She said that she leaned out her window to see the man spread over her car bonnet with his bare behind facing her.

Video shows the man making humping motions and short yelping noises.

He is then seen pulling up his trousers and walking away.

"The maniac had sex with my BMW," the horrified owner told local media.

She said the car wasn't damaged but that visible marks were left, adding she washed the car as soon as possible.

She also said she had never seen the young man in the neighbourhood before.
A friend of the owner said: "I was shocked."

The bizarre incident comes as the streets of Switzerland are almost deserted amid a coronavirus lockdown.

The country has so far seen almost 5,000 cases and 43 deaths confirmed amid the outbreak.

Its government has declared a state of "exceptional" emergency, closed its borders, and banned all public and private events.

The Canton of Geneva has also banned prostitution, which is usually legal and regulated in Switzerland.

The behaviour of the man in the images is consist with mechanophilia, a sexual attraction to machines such as bicycles, motor vehicles, helicopters, ships, and aeroplanes.

Publicised cases include a 30-year-old German woman identified as Michele Kobke who has been in a "relationship" with a Boeing 737 for five years.

She reportedly calls the plane "Schatz" - German for "treasure" - and says that she is in love with it.
