The plaintiff does not have a claim for relief on the negligence count as we do not consider the swallowing of a razor blade a risk which the defendant is required to anticipate. For similar reasons, see Hadley v. Baxendale, 156 Eng. Rep. 145, 151-152 (1854), and White & Summers, Uniform Commercial Code Section 10.4 (2d ed. 1980), the plaintiff may not recover consequential damages on the warranty claims even if the defendant had warranted that the blade was made of stainless steel, and the plaintiff could prove that because the blade had not shown on an x-ray, it must have been made of another material. We decline to reverse and remand where, at most, only nominal damages could be recovered. See Restatement (Second) of Contracts Section 346 comment a (1981); Sessa v. Gigliotti, 165 Conn. 620, 622 (1973).

Judgment affirmed.

The defendant was convicted of possession of burglarious implements (G. L. c. 266, Section 49) based on evidence that he was the driver of an automobile parked alongside an Audi Fox automobile; that the engine of the defendant's automobile was running; that on the floor of the defendant's automobile was a BMW radio with wires protruding; that a second individual was seated in the back seat of the defendant's automobile with two screwdrivers and a dent puller at his feet; that a third individual was standing between the defendant's automobile and the Audi Fox, leaning inside the Audi Fox through its opened front window; that a vent window of the Audi Fox was smashed, pieces of glass being both inside the vehicle and on the parking lot surface under the window; that, when the police arrived, the

defendant "yelled `the cops,'" and the third individual fled; and that the defendant explained to the police that the individual who fled "was going to the bathroom." On that evidence we think that a jury could rationally draw an inference, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant and the other two men were engaged in a joint enterprise of stealing radios and perhaps other items of value from unattended cars and that the screwdrivers and the dent puller on the rear floor were suitable for, and possessed with the intention of using them for, that purpose. Although the point was left undecided in Commonwealth v. Armenia, 4 Mass. App. Ct. 33, 38 (1976), and Commonwealth v. Mahnke, 13 Mass. App. Ct. 1057, 1059 (1982), we do not doubt that the passenger compartment of an automobile may be found to be a depository with respect to valuables left therein, including radios, tape decks, and the like. Whether the particular Audi Fox had valuables therein is not crucial to the Commonwealth's case, as the gist of the offense lies in the possession of the tools, the purpose for which they are possessed, and their suitability for that purpose. The fact that the dent puller was apparently missing a screw goes only to the weight of the evidence; a burglarious implement does not lose its character as such because it needs repair. The defendant's acquittals on charges of receiving stolen goods (the BMW radio) and malicious destruction of property (the vent window) are not inconsistent with the present conviction, the evidence suggesting that the defendant was a thief rather than a receiver (see Commonwealth v. Obshatkin, 2 Mass. App. Ct. 1, 4 [1974]) and that the destruction of the window was not "malicious" as that word is used in G. L. c. 266, Section 127, as appearing in St. 1982, c. 229, Section 2 (see Commonwealth v. Peruzzi, 15 Mass. App. Ct. 437, 440-444 [1983]).

Judgment affirmed.
