This would be a cool comment except for the things it doesn't say. You should know who the ball belongs to because you should have paid for it. That would give you a clear indication of who it belongs to. But beyond that, you should definitely send them about 150 bucks for a new pennant...you ran it over, left the harbour, and split. And just guessing here, but if they came out while the shouting match was going on, well.....people don't leave the workplace and jump in the dinghy just willy-nilly like that, they came out for a reason. that pennant in the basement belongs back in White Bay.
