SO. I am sitting in my office upstairs checking my email and of course, the forums when i hear an awful crashing sound from the garage. i had just posted in the e60 discussion forum about haters, so now i am sitting here like "holy shit". I RUN down the steps to my garages, skipping most of them. Turns out my toolbox somehow fell and knocked over the latter leaning against the wall. AMAZINGLY, i had popped the hood before coming upstairs because i wanted the front end to cool faster so i can wax it. funny thing is, this is the first time i have EVER popped the hood so it can cool faster. Had the hood been closed, i definately would have done some damage. scratches if not a dent. I was moving stuff around earlier looking for my missing bottle of sealer and glaze, which most likely prompted the avalanche of tools and ladder.
I feel so lucky right now. here are the pics: notice the latter is just sitting on the weather stripping.

So assigning blame is easy.

Reminds me of a friend who had a $120,000 Porsche. His kid was getting a baseball bat from wall in garage, and bat fell of hood of his new Porsche. Car value dropped like $10,000 or more cause you just cannot match the paint.
