She sure had a bad day, but his was a lot worse. I hope they're insured.

That is brutal. But there are some incredibly infantile comments after the article.

Dearie me.
Assuming he's a nice guy just having a bad day he may have got off cheaply. Better to find out this sort of stuff before you get married...

I've known a few women who could have done this... well OK then, one woman who could have done this. She dated two bikers and they both had to take out restraining orders against her. 20 years later, she's a nice person...

As for the date.... the big question is what google search turned this up... and why did the OP search on those parameters... is there a back story here?

I would dump a person who did this so fast it would make their head spin. Then I would call the cops and press charges if I could offer them actual proof they did it. A grand or more worth of lenses? Destroyed just because you're mad at someone? I don't care what he did, short of a guy murdering my cats or something I would never ever do something like this. This woman she's mental clearly. I knew a guy once who smashed up his GF's car when she dumped him and took up with one of his friends. As his friend he expected me to support his insane act. He was hurt when I told him off and told him we couldn't be friends anymore. I did feel sorry for him about being dumped, but still there was no excuse for his doing that, and yes, she did press charges and get a restraining order, and rightly so...

Nothing that some glue cannot fix, I'm sure...
Hm, maybe we misunderstood the Pentax line of lenses. WRs aren't weather but actually wrath resistant! Who could ever hurt those beauties?

Cause kicking him "where it hurts" would have been minor compared to this.

To all of you that have wondered about the date - I really did not even look at the date - until a couple of minutes ago, and I did not find it through a google search. I was reading another PetaPixel article and this happened to be a listed as a Random Story off on the right sidebar, that for some reason caught my interest.....

Sorry to disappoint - no back story here. Yes, my wife is Italian, short (in height - needs to sit on a phone book to see over the steering wheel), from the Bronx, has 4 degrees, reads 6 languages and after 30 years we're still married - but, nothing has happened to my stuff.... at least not yet....

I search for a lot of atypical items/terms - primarily for work. This was not one of those excursions.

... my wife accuse me of being as blind as a bat, and the constant tapping of my white cane annoys her to no end....
