I am sorry about your son's car. What kind of joke is it to put a large box on a car anyway?
Of course he should have paid for the damage!-

The idea in such situations is to forget about principles, and be pragmatic. The question in this case is how big is the damage, and if the damage is worth getting into a battle. If it doesn't then don't. If it does, then you have a few avenues, starting from a friendly conversation, all the way to court.
The question is alwasy, cost vs. benefit. Risk vs. Return. just put the emotions aside and the answer will normally present itself -

Were you able to sort out the car damage?

Not sure what you can do, but it must be infuriating, bodywork on cars is so expensive to put right. Could the man be persuaded to at least make a contribution?
