Hit and run

A few weeks ago while I was not on board, another boat hit Eidos.
It hit so hard that it bent this 4mm thick stainless steel bow roller. I could no longer fit the anchor in its place. So today I went back to the IBA dock and Phil, who previously constructed the frame for my bimini and spray hood, came and fixed it.
Much better and safer. 
But I am curious what kind of damage the other boat has from this collision. They owe me €50. 
 This seems to be an ongoing problem in Tranquil Bay. The powerboat in front reversed until it hit the other one. And then it kept moving back so it wrapped the mooring line around its prop. Makes you wonder where these people learn about boating. Luckily, several people came by to help.
