The insurance will cover it! Not a big deal.

Or maybe not?

Here’s a cape...now you can be Super Mad!

[BradyLS]

That’s quite a grudge!

[Vigilanteman]

. . . stolen JCB?

Who knew one of the leading credit cards (in Japan) could do so much damage?

[DUMBGRUNT]

They call it a JCB but it says CAT in the photos.

[Jemian]

What is a JCB?

[SpaceBar]

That’ll buff right out.

[Balding_Eagle]

The only logical solution is to sue JCB.

“The insurance will cover it!”

It causes a loss that will have to be made up by premiums. The more historical losses, the greater the future premiums.

Not his fault. he was just following orders from the Lizard People. The important thing to remember is when you first detect these thought waves is to quickly don your tin foil hat. I keep mine nearby always.

“The only logical solution is to sue JCB.”

The fence manufacturer or installer?

[dragnet2]

Always a disgruntled employee or former employee. I had a disgruntled former employer once.

It was an American SUV that did all the damage...

Reminds me of this guy who stole a plane for a similar mission, I think he was angry they had medically grounded him.

Here's FlightChannel's recreation (12 or so minutes) for anyone interested. It's a YouTube channel that does flight disaster simulations with the whole story and what went wrong. Fun to watch and educational. (not YouTube pimping! Last year I just enjoyed seeing their 10 - 12 minute recreations and analyses of many of the large and small aircraft mishaps from the past)

You’re fortunate the rest were gruntled.

[GreenLanternCorps]

That last one took some effort...

[TigersEye]

There is no evidence of wrecking or smashing.

Anyone who says otherwise should have their social media account locked.

[Dr. Sivana]

Those Japanese credit cards are pretty powerful!

JCB is a heavy equipment
manufacturer. Backhoes, dozers,
loaders....etc.
