    As I have recently been involved in one of these things—a scratch, or “dingy” as I have heard it called—by a person opening a car door and touching the car next to it, this is a poll on what you would do and how you would feel and react to being on either side of such an incident. Assume “little scratch” means a mark no longer than a half-inch or an area to have a “job” done no larger than one square inch. And assume the other party does not know you.

    If that person is absent and has a window cracked, I would insert a 5 or 10 dollar bill and hope it covers everything and that they know what it’s for.

    Does walmart have some kind of buffing stuff that you buff the area with and fix a small scratch like that? If so I'd do the above thing, but write down the name of the product that'll fix it along with an appoligy. (But I would't leave my name! LOL *grin*

    If the other driver threw a temper tantrum, why not simply open the boot of your car, take out either a sledge hammer or a crowbar, and finish the job?

    The first "ding" on a new car is always the most disappointing. After that it doesn't matter that much. After three years I doubt I would be able to find which was the "new" ding.
