I am more pissed off that the bar steward who did it didn’t have the honesty/courtesy to leave a note on my windscreen telling me what they had done and how to contact them, than the damage itself.
I get that. My first car (an old Mondeo) got keyed badly at Aberffraw on Anglesey years ago. The damage didn’t bother me, but the fact that someone, for no reason, decided to key something that it had taken a while for me to save up for really bothered me.
Contrast to a few years back when I came down off Craigellachie into Aviemore. A young German couple approached me and told me they’d put a big dent (cosmetic, not structural) in my car with their camper van, and had been to the police station to report it. I told them I didn’t care, and didn’t want to claim for the damage. I admired the fact that they were so honest and clearly upset. I chatted to them and we went our separate ways all in a happy mood.
