A New Jersey HVAC and plumbing business shared a video on Facebook showing a deer breaking into their office and causing chaos among the Christmas decorations. The deer knocked over a Christmas tree at A.M. Bottle Mechanical and returned the next morning to inspect the damage. The business, based in Sewell, humorously advertised the incident, stating that the deer was “checking for holiday deals.” Typically, deer are known for causing damage to cars, not Christmas decorations, with the peak month for animal-related car strikes being November. Data from the Highway Loss Data Institute shows that the average cost of these claims from 2013-2022 was $4,600, coinciding with deer mating season when they are most active. The specific type of animal causing the crashes is not specified in the data. Overall, the deer incident at the New Jersey business provided a unique and entertaining twist on the common cliché of animals causing havoc in unexpected places.
