'AITA for making an insurance claim': Internet torn over guy's decision to press charges against good samaritan who broke a window on his vehicle

Typically, if someone breaks something of yours, you might expect them to be responsible for replacing it. But what if that thing wasn't exactly new? What if it was already broken in another way already? Should the person have to replace it with a new version of the already broken thing?

That's the question that came to the forefront of discussion sparked by this thread that was shared on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit. The posting Redditor, u/Admirable-Cabinet-52, shared their experience to the popular subreddit to see if they were in the wrong for making a good samaritan pay for a new canopy for his pickup after they accidentally broke the window on it trying to help him close it.

Is this guy in the wrong for charging the kid for "breaking" a part of his vehicle? Should the kid not have touched the car—and is he automatically in the wrong for that? Either way, probably a good lesson for this young lad to not touch other people's things under any circumstances; you don't know what kind of a-holes might be out there looking to profit off of your attempt at a good deed. It's this same kind of thing that caused a lot of places to put protections in place to protect first-aid givers against lawsuits resulting from administering CPR.
