We all are passionate about our vehicles and hate to see them blemished particularly due to other's errors. That said, we all can stand from catching a break here and there and you'll never feel bad helping out someone in need. Sounds like "Rhonda" could really use the break you are giving her and hopefully she will pay it forward to someone else.
A hassle for sure but the juice ain't worth the squeeze. In this instance you'll feel better helping her out rather than making her pay.
Good decision and an even better lesson for us all.
