Man, I've got some
awesome neighbors! They'll be receiving fantastic wine for the holidays!
You were lucky you caught her and lucky she was so amiable. She is one of those people who feel it is not wrong if you don't get caught.
Yeah, you owe your neighbor big time.

BTW, the insurance companies don't help this. My wifes car door flew from my hands in a windstorm, damaging a brand new pickup. Still had the sticker and temp plates. I spent an hour tracking the owner down in the mall. My friend was PO'd cause I made him stand by the truck in the cold until we found the owner. His 50 cent size dent was hardly noticeble but cost my insurance $ 1,200.00.
My rates went up on all my cars and have paid three times that in premium upcharges since. Dent Wizard would have done it for less than $150.00.
You almost can't blame folks for runnin' away.
