That's right, I have received yet another note! Who passed it to me this time?

    I'm likely wrong, but it kind of looks reminds me of a pig-pen cipher, but where you over laid multiple symbols on top of each other. – Barker Apr 08 '18 at 17:21

Partial answer: the following riddle appears...

... if you draw the lines that are missing in the patterns:

My prefix goes vroom
My infix you consume
My suffix breaks helf (1)
I operate all by myself

(1) Should actually be read "break(s) shelf"

Not my level unfortunately, so I leave this typical Riley riddle to true amateurs.

    Nice! The third line should actually be rot13(Zl fhssvk oernx furys). I hope you'll excuse the bad grammar, I just wanted to make the lines around the same length. – Riley Apr 08 '18 at 19:52

    Being myself a non-English speaker, you are obviously pardoned for that bad grammar of yours :-) Updating my answer then – xhienne Apr 08 '18 at 19:56

I think to the answer to the riddle (which I found just to late, but credits to xhienne) is:

Automaton
My prefix goes vroom: auto
My infix you consume: tomato
My suffix break shelf: As Misha Lavrov noticed, this might mean that putting "a ton" of stuff on a shelf breaks the shelf.
I operate all by myself: by definition

    Hey, you got it! Sorry about the confusing third line. See my comment on xhienne's answer. Do you think you can explain that line now? – Riley Apr 08 '18 at 19:57
  • @Riley I read your comment but don't understand the third line – Martin W Apr 08 '18 at 20:25

    I think the idea with the third line is that (rot13) vs lbh chg "n gba" bs fghss ba n furys, vg jvyy "oernx furys". – Misha Lavrov Apr 08 '18 at 20:33
