Mistakes and accidents are unavoidable. They're part of our lives. But don't worry, this isn't an insurance ad. It's a piece on the subreddit That Looked Expensive.’

It's an online community, where people share photos, gifs, and videos of mistakes, accidents, catastrophes, and disasters that cost a small fortune.

We're talking a supercar storage catching fire, children knocking over a $70K sculpture, and many more hilarious, er, I mean, costly mishaps. Continue scrolling to check them out and take a look at Bored Panda's earlier article on the subreddit after you're done, too!

This is clearly an exhibit for kids, it should be kid-proofed. The fact that it happened just after opening means that it was bound to happen.

Shitty kid behaviour, often (but not always) shitty parenting

True but even if you're a good parent, bringing your kid with shitty behavior to a place like that is questionable.

This is the second time these kids broke a famous thing.. These same bratty kids were filmed by this very same mother breaking another valuable art piece in a museum. The piece was an angel wing made of glass behind ropes. The mother filmed them hitting it against the wall until it broke.

Let's all go to this kids house and take every toy his parents bought him and stick them in their bed. Leave all kinds of teeny legos all over the house for them to step in. Pour honey on everything and go touch all moms silk blouses while eating something fried. Deep fried. Make their house look like a bomb just went off after the tornado that landed on someone's sister and just let them see what can happen when they are too busy to even recognize the signs their kid is in trouble or their kid is just running amok because he can.

I see a lot of people blaming parents here. I'm not saying they shouldn't have been watching (who knows whether they were). But as a the parents of a special needs' child that took years to diagnose, I think it can be a lot more complicated. Might just be parents letting their kids run wild. But might not be. It's a shame they haven't figured out a way to glue them better.

Cost of the lego pieces themselves + cost of design + cost of lego artist to physically make the fox. But if you think you could make one for less and charge a living wage, then by all means…

Looks bad because the front axle has detached, but that will repair, particularly if the car is sufficiently valuable, insurance will pay. Just makes me want to cry though.
