One of the engineers at work took a Lecroy Wavesurfer off site in his car and smashed the screen
He didn't bother taking the front cover or packing it properly ![Face Palm :palm:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/facepalm.gif)
And to think I felt guilty, back in 1968, when I braked hard, & the Telequipment Serviscope that was sitting on the Series 2 Landrover seat fell on its backside.
Broke off one of the rear feet, & badly dented the back panel, but it still worked!
I can do you one better, though, with an EE's misadventure.
A Telecom Aust Engineer came back from the bush with a Landcruiser "troop carrier" full of test instruments, all in aluminium "road cases", & parked it in his home driveway.
During the night some "evil doers" stole the "troopie" along with all the goodies.
The cops soon found the Toyota-----empty!
Finding the test gear took a little longer, but the police officers rang a few days later with the "good news"-----all of the gear had been recovered.
The "bad news"?
They were recovered in the river!
