Getting Even Inc.
Registered in Port Oakes as Bells Demoralisation and Demolishment (Or B&B for Bella and Belle). The group's message seems to be a theme of "Don't get mad, get even", as cheating or abusive partners, deadbeat parents, bullying bosses, and so very many more have found out to their dismay.
This is a business specializing in professional vengeance, taking the form of destroying the things near and dear to an individual as recompense for wrongs they have committed against a client, without ever causing physical harm to any person. That said, however much the members of the group enjoy the work (and they really do), the business is, more or less a way of funding the various projects and interests of the individuals who make up the B&B family, especially Bella's continued campaign against her father.
Most of the members of B&B have in some way been treated as objects or as less important than material possessions. Some worry about whether or not they themselves are things rather than people. As a result, there is an intense dislike among the members for those who prize material possessions over people, and few of the B&B family have much respect for the possessions of others, and have little need for many possessions themselves. Much of the vengeance meted out by the group is achieved by destroying property that's important to their target.
