I totally agree with you and I'm not arguing that the parent is in the right. I was just saying for the sake of not creating a scene and not being contentious.

Here's a situation that happened at the same Coffee and Cars location. A month ago I saw my first Kirkham, brightly polished, hand rubbed stripes, stainless frame. A very nice car. The owner walked up and introduced himself.
During our conversation, he mentioned that when he first brought his car to this location last year, someone (he didn't say child or adult) leaned against his car in the rear quarter area. His out of pocket expense for repair $1,100.00.

Kirkhams are a bit fragile in places. Aluminum is soft and dents easy. You can only really "lean" on the car in certain places without risk of denting the body. Repairing the dent on one can get price because sometimes the metal is replaced altogether or the repolishing job among other things.
