Well, honor your feelings. If you're mad, you're mad for a reason. However, generally you're the only one suffering so staying mad isn't very useful. If they intentionally damaged the something, then saying something is sticking up for yourself. If they don't even know they did it, you have to judge if it's worth protesting to them about it. Will it happen again if you don't speak up? If the person just doesn't care, even once they know they hurt you as well as the object, then maybe you need to get some distance and keep your stuff out of the person or persons' path. If it's really big damage, there's small claims court, because in this country we tend to have methods to make people what they call "whole" when someone else has damaged their property and failed to make it right. When I was hurt in a car accident, it took a couple of years to get awarded damages. So going to court can be a very slow way of being made whole. (Say I had lost an arm. They couldn't have fixed that, but I'd sure have received a lot more money--probably. Justice can always make mistakes!)

True or false:
Getting mad over any damage someone else does to something of yours is never overreacting, regardless of what the object "just" is, how little the damage, the form of the damage (e.g. paint on it), and no matter how easy it is for you to fix it yourself.
