(CNN)When Matt Grant was out busking on the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland on Tuesday, "the worst thing that could have happened happened."
The 26-year-old musician was confronted by a woman who grabbed his guitar and smashed it up, leaving him without the means to ply his trade.
Later that evening, Grant set up a crowdfunding page in the hope of raising enough money for a replacement.
He described the incident on the fundraising page, saying: "Often I don't rise to people coming up and talking nonsense but this lady was pushing it too far. She was in my face swearing and shouting at me. I told her to go away and she wasn't having any of it. She grabbed my guitar and smashed it over the ground."
What happened next, however, was a much nicer surprise.
