But wouldn't you be afraid of retaliation for turning someone in (or helping to do so)? Someone irrational enough to do bad seems capable of doing more bad if they are busted like this.


No, I wouldn't be afraid of retaliation. I would be vigilant regarding retaliation, but not afraid.

I'm not advocating being a tattle-tale. I'm talking about reporting the malicious destruction of private property. I, a few years ago, had a guy smash up my car (while parked) with his motorcycle, which he hadn't really learned to ride and wasn't licensed for. There was no yelling, no anger, and certainly no cops.... I just asked him if he was able to pay for it, which he was and quickly did. Totally amiable. WHy should I care if he had a motorcycle endorsement on his license? All I care about is that he made a mistake but dealt with it like an adult.

You can't let people act like this woman without repercussions. People have to be responsible for their actions.
