[quote=Anonymous]Over the weekend while visiting, my father in law borrowed my mini van to go to DSW, and run a couple of other errands like they always do when they visit. He hit a post with my mini van and banged it up pretty good. He then went to Home Depot to buy a plunger so he could pull out the bumper.  While he was successful in pulling out the bumper, there are some pretty big scratches on the front bumper.

I didn't know anything happened until my MIL told me.  She said he was very embarrassed about it and was going to fix it. I never went out to look at it "while he was fixing it" since he was so embarrassed. I asked MIL to let me know if he needed anything else to fix it.  At no point did FIL ever mention anything to me.  I would have at least expected an apology.  NOPE, nothing!!  The worst part is that they didn't offer to pay to get the big scratch repaired!  I'm really upset about it and told DH that he will never be able to use my car.  They always use my car, DHs car is a Hybrid and it's his transportation on 66.

Should I mention something to them or have DH mention or just let it go and get the front bumper painted?  My mini van is by no means brand new, it's a 2004, and yes it has some dings on it.  But sheesh, a huge scratch on the front bumper now too!

Thanks for any and all responses.
