Default Re: I Am So Sick Of This Happening!!!

I'm glad it worked out in your favor. Next time you arrange to meet a "perp", I'd advise taking a friend as a witness. You never know what could happen (they could be unstable...or you could after they hit your XF).

A few years ago in Detroit some clown tried to sneak into traffic behind me and when I stopped, he hit me at less than 5 mph. Just enough to scratch the rear fascia in a couple places. We exchanged registration and insurance cards and I noticed his insurance had long expired. Long story short -- I suggested he pay me $500 to fix the vehicle and he met me 1/2 later with the money. A bit of a risk if he did not show up as there were no witnesses, but he was scared and I did not give him time to think it over. It cost $490 to fix the rear.
