Volvo falls foul to the vandals

This incident took place in 2006 in the town of Haslev, which lies around 37 miles (60km) from the countries capital Copenhagen. In all honesty it’s not a country I would have associated with vandalism, but I guess there are bad people everywhere these days. From the information I have received from Soren, it appears that the vandals took to the Volvo EC35 and started to beat up the classic Akerman H7C machine which was parked alongside it, smashing glass and metalwork in the process! They then clearly tracked back a little bit too far and the mini excavator flipped backwards into the excavation behind it, ending up sat in the hole on its rear counterweight and bonnet! Let’s hope the idiot responsible had a good headache afterwards for his troubles! The Digger Man Blog thanks Soren for sharing this story with us.
