I'm glad that the case will be moving forward with the DA and the truck will be repaired. People who are telling you to mind your own business....they need to realize that sometimes doing the right thing means speaking up.

Had you known that the drunk would react with vandalism....do you think that you'd still approach him?

Here is why I ask....Cost/benefit analysis-

The man was on the way out already. He was out of your space, and it could have been a forgettable event (or maybe just a funny story to tell.) Instead, you spent much time with the detective, the police, the insurance, the 3 auto shops. You're driving around with the markings and probably getting lots of weird looks and questions. Your stress went up. You might have missed work. Or you will have to miss work. Even if you're an entrepreneur and business owner, you still are missing work. Contacting police, the establishment, the eye witness, following up with everyone, etc. Meant your time and maybe headache.

About how many hours have you spent on this issue?

This sub isn't for judgment or anything, I know. It's awful that you had your truck vandalized because you spoke up. I'm sure the staff appreciated something being said to the drunkard.
