Quoted from Steve-in-CT:

Last night we went to a pizza joint that had recently changed hands. To my surprise there was a nice Monopoly game mixed in with a few vids. The game was clean and played well. After 2 or 3 games, I hit an air ball that landed on top of a plastic. I asked to owner if he had the key so we could remove it. He said "no, but I'll fix the f**king thing". He then proceeded to pick up the game 3-4 feet off the ground and slam it down. I told him to take it easy and he responded "piece of sh*t ain't mine".

This guy has issues. Not only abusing other people's property, but cursing up a storm in front of customers and making a scene. I wonder how he reacts if a customer has a complaint about his product.

I'd find out who owns the games and contact them and let them know (warn them he's a hothead) what exactly happened. They may not know this guy very well, since you said the place recently changed hands. If he does something as brazen as this, think about what it would be like doing overall business with him.

Its not the fact that a pin was involved that gets me going about this. I worked for a pizza joint when I was in high school and the owner acted exactly like this man. Of course in the beginning, I didn't realize who he really was and thought nothing of it. But years later, everyone who dealed with him had very bad things to say. Employees, vendors, landlord, etc.
