I don't think this should affect your plans re: bonus or going away gift. For all you know, someone hit the car with something in a parking lot. You just don't know. And it's really not a big deal.[/quote]

NP here.  $700 not a big deal?  It is in my house!

I agree that without proof, OP probably should not require AP to pay part of the cost.

However, I also agree that the AP's lack of concern over her HF's vehicle (of which she was the sole driver, to her significant benefit), and what sounds like an "oh well" attitude about her HF having to pay to fix it, would make me CRAZY.   If I were in the APs shoes, even at 19, I would feel so bad that the car was possibly damaged on my "watch" that you can bet I'd be offering to do what I could and apologizing profusely.

Her poor attitude would be enough for me to eliminate or significantly reduce an end of year bonus.  Why would I want to go further out of pocket for someone who clearly has no appreciation for my assets and my bottom line?  Her bonus would become the 11  prior months she had use of the car.  And I would absolutely end all car and bike privileges immediately.
