Remember, it was most likely not intentional and will most likely be considered a reckless act, so in odrder for it to be deemed Criminal Mischief, the cost to repair the damage would HAVE to be over $250.

As per NYS Penal Law:
Quote
S 145.00 Criminal mischief in the fourth degree.
  A person is guilty of criminal mischief in the fourth degree when,
having no right to do so nor any reasonable ground to believe that he
has such right, he:
  1. Intentionally damages property of another person; or
  2. Intentionally particpates in the destruction of an abandoned
building as defined in section one thousand nine hundred seventy-one-a
of the real property actions and proceedings law; or
  3. Recklessly damages property of another person in an amount
exceeding two hundred fifty dollars.
  Criminal mischief in the fourth degree is a class A misdemeanor

Jcassity, my concern is the dent. I knew right away the rest could be buffed out..... even the officer that looked at it rubbed some of the black off with his finger.
