If all transactions were handled this way, retailers might be less keen on fucking their clientele. A man in South Florida, displeased with the answers he got when complaining to a car dealership about the price he’d paid for his new Ford Escape, drove the vehicle through the showroom window and set the car on fire.

Though just how much the North Dade Metro Ford dealership charged Gerald Georgettis for his SUV was not revealed, Georgettis was miffed to learn that he actually could have found it for less somewhere else. Police say the 56-year-old city worker first tried talking to someone from the dealership. According to witnesses, the conversation ended and Georgettis calmly walked back to his new car, hopped in and hit the gas. After crashing through the window, he doused the Escape with a “flammable liquid” and tossed a match on it before walking home. The show of displeasure caused about $1-million (U.S.) in damages and resulted in charges of first-degree arson and felony mischief.
