[Leica] UPDATE Re: 280/4 APO repair

Some time ago I wrote:

Suppose that 8 months ago you'd sent your most-used lens to Leica for repair 
(it was dropped, the front rim has a dent and there are tight spots in to 
focussing ring)

Suppose further that the lens returned yesterday, unrepaired due to a lack 
of parts.

And then suppose you opened the package to find this:

Aside from having sent the lens to bumbling idiots, what would you conclude?

So here's the update: in late May I sent this lens to DAG and today I received an e-mail describing the work performed to repair the lens to good working order along with a (very reasonable) bill for the service and shipping.  Needless to say within five minutes I'd sent the funds to him.  Parts needed?  Three screws.
