I wasn't there when the drum was installed. I only regret that I did not
notice the dings before the van left on the transporter. I do have
photographic proof before it left the shop in question. I did not get a
close look at the drums until after someone asked me to. I agree that
someone woudl have caused this when they pried during the course of install.
