Video: Deer smashes through door of New Jersey business, knocks down Christmas tree
New Jersey deer breaks into business, stays overnight
A deer broke into an HVAC and plumbing company by running through the front door. Video caught the animal inspecting the damage the next morning.
They might want to change the cliché about China shops from bulls to deer.
A New Jersey HVAC and plumbing business posted a video to Facebook of a deer breaking into their office and rampaging through the Christmas decorations.
Video shows the deer knocking over the Christmas tree of A.M. Bottle Mechanical and returning the next morning to inspect the damage.
The Sewell-based business said in its post that the animal was released unharmed and used the incident to advertise, saying that the deer was “checking for holiday deals.”
Deers usually damage cars, not Christmas decorations
The deer encounter is not the common form of animal related festive destruction.
The average cost of November animal car strike claims − the peak month for animal car crashes − from 2013-2022 was $4,600, according to data from the Highway Loss Data Institute.
The data does not say what kind of animal caused the crashes but the peak coincides with mating season, when deer are the most active.
