I recently dinged a woman's car when the car door blew out of my hand. I could have easily walked away and she would have never known. I couldn't do that. The damage for this minor ding was $500 (a very large amount for my budget). It got paid.

You are a very ethical person Redwitch. Many would have said "it was the wind's fault". I would hope that I would do the same thing---I believe that I would.
