Donkey Causes £5k Of Damage After Mistaking Orange McLaren For Carrot
A donkey named Fitus found was at the centre of a bizarre court case in the German federal state of Hesse this week. Why? Because the creature decided to dine out on a McLaren 650S parked near his paddock last year.
Owner Markus Zahn was left with a €5800 (£5100) bill after the curious incident, but wasn’t able to claim compensation from the donkey owner’s insurance company. The reason? The company reckoned the 49-year-old supercar owner should have picked a better parking spot.
The matter went to court, where it was decided the donkey’s owner was indeed liable for the damage.
As to why Fitus thought the 650S constituted a tasty treat, both the police and Zahn have theorised that he mistook the orange McLaren for a carrot…

So that means…orange cars are animal-friendly?
Well the McLaren driver was a jackass.
Get it?
OMG
So its a carrot with an active wing?
And he is stupid for parking it that close to a farm wtf
Lol
The donkey thought it to be a giant “orange Papaya” … a giant fruit that fell from heavens above. 😂
From now on, whenever a fly buzzing around your house is too stupid to go through the open part of the window and that ruins your day, think about what this donkey did to a McLaren!
Well that must have been awkwardly to explain
Owner of Car- “Hey, why ha my car been damaged? “
Farmer- “Erm… So… Your car… It’s really orange.. “
Owner- “Yes… So? “
Farmer-“So, my donkey may have, slightly mistaken it for a massive carrot, and, err, slightly tried to eat it”
Owner- “I’m not sure if it’s you or the donkey who is the real dumb ass “
Seems like Fitus the donkey is as smart as a foetus
