This is a Eureka! moment for the industry.  The little guy has always 
known that the costs of legally recovring for damages to the broken 
window  caused bya a rock at the hand ot the neighbour's brat are always 
far more than the actual damage.  Taking such issues to court are costly 
even if you win.
