What to do if my son was playing with neighborhood kids and someone caused damage to another neighbor’s vehicle but there is no proof of who was at fault?
The owner of the vehicle is expecting us and the other neighbor to pay for the damages. How should we proceed?

Whoever caused the damage should pay for it, regardless whether there is proof. Ask you son and the other kids who caused the damage. The parents of that child or children should pay the bill. If no one will confess or say who was responsible, then the parents of all the children should share in the expense.
