Should've just given him that raise

A disgruntled former Mercedes-Benz worker has been arrested after he went on a £5 million wrecking spree with a stolen JCB at a Spanish factory he used to work at. 

The 38-year-old allegedly destroyed around 50 brand-new vans with the stolen JCB that he drove 18 miles to the factory on an industrial estate in the Basque capital Vitoria, northern Spain.

    1. JCB is a British heavy equipment manufacturer. JCB is the British generic term for a rubber tire backhoe. However, according to the photos the machine in question is neither a jcb or a backhoe but a Cat loader

  2. Backhoe, excavator, pretty much any digging/earthmoving machinery is a JCB in the UK.
