In an uncontrollable fit of ATM rage, a Chinese man took a hammer to nine cash machines in the City of Guangzhou after his bank card was rejected.
The 43-year old man, Bo Teng, needed the cash to pay for a hotel on an overnight stay in the Southern Chinese province of Guangdong.
But after repeatedly failing to make the withdrawal, he walked to his car and returned with a hammer which he used to smash the offending machine and three others in the bank lobby.
Still not satisfied, Teng walked to another bank with five cash machines on display and hammered into those as well.
The police say that in his fury he failed to realise that his card was rejected because of insufficient funds in his account.
The bank in question is suing him to the tune of £20,000 for the cost of repairing the machines and filing charges of criminal damage with the police.
