Well, at least it's not about arms and legs.

We do have to understand that these things can happen a car shows. I used to have a Ferrari and I was displaying it at an annual Concorso event near Pebble Beach. My wife and I were sitting right behind the car when a man and his son were admiring our car. The kid had a camera around his neck and when he leaned over to look into the car.....bam! The camera struck the car. I never did remove the mark, it was car show patina.

An hour later an older man came around and commented how nice my car was and how he had never seen that model......I looked up and it was Bob Bondurant. Kinda made the day a lot more satisfying.
