As you put your backpack on, one of your classmates pulls into his spot and hits your car. He gets out of his car, says “Oops” and laughs as he walks away with his friends. You notice your car has a dent in it and paint scraped off. Your Dunkin’ Donuts also fell onto the floor so you have nothing to eat for breakfast. What should you do?
