Garage door window with the end of pole.

Glass ashtray swiped off garden table with trailing hose.

Garden ornaments.

Plant pots.

Each time I've owned up and the customer has said not to worry, thanks for your honesty.  ;D

I put my foot through a pub roof as a teenager. Didn't own up to it.  :-[
They did a full referb a couple of years later.
Broke a 'one off' ceramic hare glad I was insured as it was £100's to remake. I still clean and sweat every time I lay eyes on it.

was cleaning a museum floor and tripped, to break my fall. i put my hands down but ended up launching myself into a full flip.

the problem was that i was near one of the paintings and my sock brace caught the glass front to picture i was near, which shattered the glass front to picture and some how tore the painting.

on the positive side it then looked like the portrait of the person was then more jolly by smiling more. (mona lisa)

thankfully id increased my insurance earlier that year and it covered the claim as it wasnt an original that was hung.
