where do people see other than just think that it is for certain that the golf ball did the damage claimed by the owner?

i think i'm going with judge judy on this one.
shaking my head in disbelief....did I just read that? I can't by any stretch of imagination think that I would somehow have holes in my birdcage and sit around waiting for a golfer to hit a ball into my house, with evil intent run out to pick the ball up and show it the golfer, who already knows they hit something wrong near my house and is now walking my way to see what they hit, and then I would falsely allege that they had made the holes in the birdcage. You have got to be kidding.

the reason for picking up the ball is obvious; the golfer can likely be identified.
