Angry Landscapers Scratched my Truck

So angry right now. The landscapers put a good scratch in my truck yesterday. Right on the drivers side door.

That's a bum deal. Did you have a chance to confront them on the issue? If so, what was their reaction .. Some people don't respect themselves nevermind respect others or their property ....

Pictures? Any chance of it being removed by mechanical polishing versus a repaint or is it beyond that?

Best of luck man!

Yeah, I can feel it wiht my finger nail.

It's just total carelessness. I think that's what pisses me off the most.

Did you find your boot?, because if that happened to me they would be surgically removing a boot from the landscapers a$$!

No sense living in fear, you will get nailed when you least expect it from the most unlikely source...

I just got a check in the mail today to get this fixed; the freakin paperboy got me with his bike handlebar...

I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!!!!

Well now they are saying since I did actually witness the scratch occur they will deny any claim.

The landscapers at the hospital I work at (at the time I was interviewing with them) slung a rock up with a weed eater and hit my fender. I confronted the guy that did it about itand he didnt speak english...so I found is boss and confronted him about it (I was supprisingly calm about it) and they took care of having it repaired no questions asked. It sucked to have to have it done but I must say the fender is as good as new now. I dont think anyone was being careless or apathetic really in my case....it was just an accident and they owned up to it.
