Whoa, that's terrible. Looks like a couple of people missed getting hurt. Was it a robbery attempt, car troubles or driver troubles? I was guessing robbery just by the number if times the wall was hit.
Sad for the owners as I'm sure the insurance will not cover it all, especially for any damaged coins. "What do you mean you want $100 for that, it's a quarter, and we'll give you 25 cents". Somehow I doubt any shortfalls will be recoverable from the driver.
maybe a disgruntled customer or ex employee? I can't see someone accidentally crashing into the wall, backing up and taking another run at it, crashing entirely through and into a building and then continuing to work the transmission back and forth
quite bizarre

Others here may have had more personal experience and I work in casualty claims. I suspect first person commercial property insurance for collectibles is prohibitively expensive, if even available. For third party casualty insurance, in this case, the driver's, it does not work that way. I do not know the insurance laws in Nevada, but if an adjuster ever offered 25 cents for a $100 quarter that was damaged, that adjuster could be fired, if not worse. Good faith dealing is the law in most, if not all states. If the full value, prior to damage, was paid, the coin would be taken as salvage. Roughly speaking, that is the more likely scenario. Every circumstance is different, depending on the policy and the law.

Incredible. How many times did that driver back up and ram it again?

Looks like a confused LOL driver (Little Old Lady). There's someone in the passenger seat too.
Very strange.

Coincidentally, there has been several 'crash and grab' style robberies in the Chicago area lately.
