What was you most expensive accidental damage?

This is going to seem trivial, but I once (accidentally, on purpose) busted up a late 70s vintage Panasonic clock radio.

The Eagles had just lost a game to the Redskins on a field goal in the closing seconds of a game, and I just kept bashing the thing like crazy with my hand. Didn't figure the flourescent display was made of glass or that a metal housing surrounded it, but let's just say my hand was bleeding pretty good and the clock wasn't of much use by the time I got it all out of my system.

That was the best darned clock radio I ever owned. After approximately 20 years, it was still going strong. So far, "Made in China" does not compare with "Made in Japan". But, I've been lucky with my high end gear.

And, no, I don't have those anger issues any longer. At least, I think I don't...

I have yet experienced such a loss, but I have had a guest/friend put their tall beverage on top of my Theta Dreadnaught. I popped out of my seat so fast, it looked like I sat on a needle!

My son accidentally played "dominos" with my Magnepan 3.5s. You know the game where one domino falls into the next domino knocking it down, etc. etc.
I was working and my wife was so afraid to tell me, she waited for me to get home then made me sit down before giving me the bad news(I thought she was pregnant again).
He was small and it was an accident but I didn't speak to my wife for about a week (it was her turn to watch him). Even my son knew he had done something wrong. Magnepan did a marvelous job of rebuilding them, basically giving me 2 brand new speakers, and only charging me for the cost of the parts.
The good thing is that both my son AND my wife keep their distance now.

Quicke,man i hate morons like that,im always amazed at the lack of consideration people have in other's home's.

about 20 years ago i was out bar hopping & i parked my bike where the security guard could see it & even gave the slob a 20 spot to keep an eye on it for me while i was inside.

after i had my fill i came out to the parking lot & i couldnt find my scooter,i thought it got stolen until i looked closer,some drunken fool had ran over the little yellow curb between the 2 parking spots & ran right over my bike,not only did he run over the bike he was parked directly on top of it with most of the bike still under his suv,then he passed out with the motor still running.

i do believe that was the angriest moment in my entire life not to mention i had well over 10k (big $ back then)into that harley & i ended up eating every last cent of it too.

35.00 hard earned dollars to a scalper for a $6.50 ticket to see Led Zepplin back in 1973 at Olympia Stadium in Detroit, Michigan. The Accidental damage was to the finest audiophile instruments that (money can’t buy) I have ever owned... my ears. Oh, it was probably worth it given my brother and I went with two beautiful young girls and we saw a band and a show that rock n’ roll legends are made of. The ringing in my ears has long since gone away. Happy listening!
