Found my old stomp rocket in my parent's garage last month and launched it straight into a neighbors window

I was just messing around in the backyard after digging it out of a dusty box, aimed at the sky, and that thing took a hard left turn right into Mrs. Patterson's kitchen window on Maple Drive - shattered it clean, cost me 40 bucks to replace the pane, but honestly watching that rocket fly again was still worth it even with the repair bill, has anyone else had a childhood toy come back to haunt them like that?

Wow, did you check if it had any sort of warranty left on it?

I remember my friend Deb bought a used fridge and it died after two months... turned out the previous owner had registered it for a new extended warranty but never passed the papers on.
