It broke the paint, and put a pretty nasty dent in the car, at our office of course. I know its nothing special, but I just had the car painted 3 months ago. I have it on camera, but I don't really know what to say to the guy.
What should I do?

Do you know him? Do you work with a small group of people or is it a large office? If I didn't personally know the person and they didn't seem willing to do the right thing and come forward, I might just turn it over to insurance and give them the license plate number.Quote:

You could always ask him nicely to pay for the damage he caused. ::Grouphug

If you don't want to confront him personally, you have two options:
1. Sue him in small claims court, where the judge will ask you if you asked him to pay for the damage, or
2. file it on your insurance.
I suppose you could kick his @ss, too, but that leads to further legal complications.

but I don't know how to go about it when he denies it? Do I really want to demand that he pay to fix it.Quote:

Sell the car. :neutral:
he said he didn't care if I had it on video, "its a fucking car, if you think it's that nice you should't drive it anywhere."
So much for being nice.

On the other hand...

Take it to your manager or boss. I'm not sure about federal government jobs, but HR takes seriously damage to employee property, especially by other employees, no matter what the rank.
At last resort, YouTube is always a good way to get the video out to be heard and seen, just to let the world know who the jerk is.
