A furious Frenchman was arrested on Thursday after he marched into an Apple Store and smashed up several iPhones using a petanque [bocce] ball.
The unnamed man was captured on camera using the solid metal ball to crush the smartphones and at least one laptop.
Dressed in dark glasses and one white glove, the vandal struck in the Toison d'Or shopping centre in Dijon.
He was eventually arrested after trying to flee from security guards.
In a video of the incident shared on social media, the man declares that Apple "violates customer rights" and claims he has been refused a refund.
Footage shows the man methodically making his way round a display of iPhones and smashing them, as the shop alarm shrills in the background.

- Please, come in, said the fortune teller, as Woz entered the candle lit room.
- Madam, I just started building a calculator in my own garage, I was wondering about what will come out of it.
- Oh. Let me see the future then... I see a big store... made of crystal... and I see the word Apple.
- YES! truly remarkable! Are there many calculators there?
- no... there are... walkie talkies... people use them with headphones... big headphones... wait... a guy with a white glove is entering the store... he is angry...
- WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??

Woz rose from his seat, shouting: WOMAN, YOU TOOK LSD, DIDNT YOU!!! and raged out the door.
- THAT WILL BE 15 DOLLARS! shouted the woman back.

Steve Jobs discussed LSD with job applicants [folklore.org].
Steve Jobs never discussed LSD with Woz [businessinsider.com].
Woz is like a phone-phreaking narc [woz.org], man, so choosy about his illegal activities.
