I squeezed through, delivered the mail but after squeezing past the cars again my strap got caught on the wing mirror and snapped it off.
Would you have :-
1/ just walked away, hoping nobody saw
2/ gone back and knocked on the door
3/ phoned your DOM and told him what happened and see if anyone complains
I did no 3
I would have to be 100% sure nobody saw me to try 1 and you're never 100% sure.
Number 2 would depend on how big and prone to violence the customer was.
I think number 3 was the smart move.

Re: broken wing mirror
Someone once complained that I had broken the wing mirror on their car - I know I didn't and so I knocked at the door the next day and asked a simple question which was "do you have a newspaper delivered?" - they replied they did and I then asked what made them think it was me and not him - they didn't respond to that but dropped the claim. In truth it could have been the milkman or anyone walking up the drive.
