A Southwell resident woke up to see his courtyard doors smashed and thought his home had been vandalised. Quentin Rayner, a BBC reporter was surprised when he saw an angry ram had smashed the glass doors of his house in Nottinghamshire, UK. At first, Rayner thought it must be miscreants and he was about to call the police just when he saw a ram lying in the garden chewing away on pot plants.
According to Rayner, the ram must have seen his reflections in the glass doors and decided to have a fight. Rayner and his wife Emma called the police, who sent an officer to investigate the matter. After a while, a local farmer got in touch with the police to claim the ram. Rayner called up his insurance company to claim for the unusual incident. Rayner informed them that their glass door had been smashed by an angry ram who was having a fight with its own reflection. He felt that their response is confusing but they sent an assessor out who agreed to pay up the expenses.
