Repair records should be checked against facts
Photos, invoices, estimates, replacement quotes, and prior condition can help test whether the claimed loss is reliable.

Mischief charge questions Heritage Heights clients often ask.
Can damage to project materials be mischief?
It can be, depending on ownership, access, intent, value, and whether the Crown can prove the damage alleged.

Permission may matter, but the facts and the exact allegation must be reviewed before relying on it.
Can I arrange repairs myself?
