Thomas Smith was seen running up on to the roof of the Y-reg Toyota, at 2.30am, on June 23, by a resident of Appleton Road, who followed him home and told the car’s owner where he lived.
“The owner found her car roof had been badly dented and estimates £2,000 of damage was caused,” said Robert Carr, prosecuting.
Smith, 18, of the Quadrangle, admitted causing criminal damage when he appeared before magistrates in Mansfield, on Monday.
The self-employed industrial cleaner said: “It was a drunken mistake. I can only apologise. It is out of character.”
He was fined £130 and ordered to pay £85 costs and £500 compensation.
