Damn, Takster, that sounds pretty much unavoidable, except that you now need to ensure that every child in the neighborhood fears you  Evil
What's the result? Are the parents covering the damage?

No such luck... They're not too well off economically, have a bunch of kids, and I'm ok.  I'm going to deal with it on my end.  Sucks, but what can I really do?

Have the kid mow your lawn for the rest of forever.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

The lawn gets mowed anyway, and I think the kid is way too young (and irresponsible) to be playing with anything with a motor.

It might be a karmic retribution for snow-blowing into their driveway all winter.

Do you suggest that I take them to small claims court?  Waste of time IMO.  Should I go spank their kid?  Should I take a tire-iron to their '89 civic?  Anything I do isn't going to change who these people are.  Everybody is ok, damage is less than my deductible.  I can live with that.

Does it suck?  yeah.

i wouldnt do anything. it was a kid. i dont think the kid would of really understood what would happen if you ran over something cause they see a tire running over something and its not a big deal because cars do it all the time. i use to throw soda cans at the tires of big rigs as they passed just to see thigns get crushed.


glad it wasnt something big. waytogo

Tasker, your much cooler about this then I would have been.  But I assume that they have homeowners insurance.  Wouldn't that cover stupid kid throws things into the road?

...not if they're renters.

as for being cool, I wasn't, but once I calmed down, it made more sense.

No.  I guess I should have put a winking smiley there.  You are the one with the first hand information.  I'm sure you made a good judgment call.  I've let similar and even worse slide in the past, and also not, just depends.

Not really.  My post needed an emoticon.  It happens on the interweb.

Tak, I believe the way you handled this speaks volumes about your character. Glad you are OK and can't wait to see your new tank panels on!
