So My Neighbor Shot a BB At My Camper...

Well, here's the thing, he didn't intend to do it. He's 92 yrs old. We actually get along pretty good. BUT, that's no excuse. He's gonna pretty unhappy when I show him estimates.

Part of me wants to just settle up with him for some amount, give him a stern warning and just cover it with some caulking and put the awning over it. Other part of me wants to teach him a lesson about damaging other peoples' property and get the most expensive estimate I can.

Anyone know roughly the going cost of a fiberglass repair like this?

Go with your gut feeling. No one "intends" to damage people's property. And no one wants their property damaged by careless people. Up to you to pay for it yourself..or file the police report, report it to insurance, get the estimates then let him make the decision to pay for it in cash...or you let your insurance handle it. What is he going to hit with the BB gun next?

Had a crazy neighbor shooting the deer that went through our properties with BB gun...shot 7 holes in our camper, he shot a little baby deer who ran off in the street and got ran over by a car because of it. Baby did not die in the street. Sheriff had to come out and put it down in front of kids. I filed charges. Don't even ask me what I wanted to do to that old man for damaging my camper and causing the death of that baby deer.

He shot them because they ate his grass...that was green as Maui, but we lived in the desert with water shortages and drought. Ultimately up to you.
