my olds stolen and totaled

[96ols60degree]

Ok,it has been a few days since i posted anything,friday morning I go out like I always do,start her up so she will be warm to take my oldest kid tom school.Come inside to grab a cereal bar,and the next thing I KNOW,I HEAR MY CAR SCREAM OFF DOWN THE ROAD!WHAT THEF.....! So i call the police,and this (kid) apparently didn't make it but 3 blocks were he wrecks it into a concrete wall by our church! about a half block away from the police station! Talk about devine intervention.So now I am stuck driving my wifes hyundai sonata 2.7v6.My point is,dont leave your car running unattended.So these people are broke as a joke,and all i can do is press charges,so I am out of a car.

Wow man, that really sucks. I find it hard to believe that all you can do is press charges. I would consider talking to a lawyer. Just because they are broke doesn't give them the right to steal someones property and get away with it with a slap on the wrists. Good luck pursuing this man!

Well the kid is only 12.Apparently they are talkin like they are gonna sue me,because he got hurt when he wrecked it.So I have a lawyer I go through for traffics accidents(ambulance chaser) and see what he thinks.What a nightmare! I just do not want this to be a long drawed out thing,I have a new baby coming in less than a week,and I AM THE ONLY ONE WORKING RIGHT NOW! OK,I NEED TO GO CRY NOW!And think after 2 yrs when I finally decide to register as a member,........I am not going down like a punk!

[Superdave]

of course they'll turn it around on you if you let them, this is America. Get a lawyer right now, you are about to get hosed if you don't.


you should sue for the price of the car, and all your legal fees. You have a pretty solid case.

[IsaacHayes]

and any extra costs such as rental cars, etc, etc. Don't let them get away with it.

I let some dirtbags walk away from an accident without even cussing at them. I lost a car, got banged up (thank god I could walk away, I didn't have hospital insurance, and my head made a hole in the windshield, even with a seat belt) and got stuck with a tow bill. Never again.

Kids these days are too bold and fearless in the face of authority. It all on account of a bunch of bleeding heart, new-aged child-psychologist who have brain-washed an entire public that our childeren dont need punishment anymore. My Dad whooped my ass if stepped over the line. I wasnt abused, just taught the meaning of dicipline. He worked the crap out of me through me early years and never let me whimp out of a situation.

I thank God that I had that gristled old man to keep me on track. I am the man I am today because of a Dad that new the value of good old fashion parenting. If that was my Kid, Id whoop his ass untill my arm fell off, comfiscate and sell all his games, cut him off completely from whatever hoodlum friends that hes made and then Id work him into dust untill he paid back every cent of damage he caused.

Thats the way Granpa handled it, Thats the way Dad handled it ...and it worked out pretty damn good so far.

Nowadays, pansy assed, sissy boy, law makers with no business of thier own call this child abuse while thier own kids end up on drugs and thier daughters end up internet sluts.

Do this, Talk to that Kid's parents. Tell them to come up with money for your damaged car and an appology from the brat or you'll sue them into the ground. I bet youll get some cooperation from them then.

Um.. yeah..

I don't think I could have said it better myself, lol. You bet my dad used my belt on me. That thing had buffalo nickels on it too, so I avoided that thing at all costs! Just because the kid is 12 doesn't make what he did to your car any less wrong. I completely agree with Driver-10's comment. Back to the belt thing though, my two cousins that didn't get the same kind of discipline I did growing up turned out way different then I did. They got anything they wanted on a silver platter while growing up since my uncle owned his own construction business. Well, both of my cousins (him and HER) have done prison time for drug related crimes now. Me? I did 2 hours in city jail for driving on a suspended license. Some see discipline as a crime now, I see it as keeping your kids in line because you care about them.

[Alxsmt]

damn! thats crazy

good luck

Won't go down easy!

Thanks for the support,you guys are awesome.Driver 10.sounds like you were raised just like me,and also feel the same way I do about our society.And think,these youngin's are the one'S that will be running our country some day!The asians and arabs will probably beat them to it !Sorry ,I don't candy coat stuff,i like to practice my freedom of speech!Anyway,these people show up last last night trying to talk it out,I said you can come back tommorow when my lawyer is present! MEANWHILE,I'LL BE CRUZIN HYUNDAI STYLE FOR A WHILE.

[Jevik]

Also see if you can get the kid for tresspassing. It was at your house. Sorry but if they're gonna try getting you to pay for this kids crime, I'd be hitting them up for every little thing.

That does suck dude. This case is quite solid though. Should be open and shut

[96ols60degree]

Well i think i might have a deal,850 for the car-500for my trouble-kid agrees to stay away from me.they have to produce it by march 6th ,or they will see the full face of the law. this will get me in a 1997 monte 3100.it is a ls plain jane,but who cares.And as far as the trespassing thing ,i live in a apartment complex,so he would of had to enter my apartment (he would havebeen busted up) to press charges for that.So i know ,it aint much,but some times shit just happens.I THINK THIS WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE IF THIS GOES TO COURT,ANY JUDGE WILL SEE THAT THIS KID IS AT FAULT, AND THIER GOOSE IS COOKED!

[pocket-rocket]

That sounds a bit low for a totaled car. I got like $2400 from the girls insurance company for my 91 when I got rear ended, and it's not like my car was in great shape. Don't undercut yourself, you are at -0- fault here. But at least they are trying to work with you.

[96ols60degree]

I am looking at it this way,my buddy will make a exception and sell me the monte for 500-that he is selling for 2,000-to help me out,i give my lawyer the 150 for coming out to my house,he is a friend also,and i got enough for gas and switching the plates and insurance.the monte only has 113 on it and it is black with grey interior.my olds had almost 215 thou on her,so i do not want to chance getting screwed on the value of the car.hey and i will have a 2dr again.i have a little boy being born march 4th,so i want this to just be over with,so i can concentrate on him and my wife.i pray these people come through.

[Rusty Shackleford]

damn thats terrible! very sorry to hear that.

[pocket-rocket]

Well at least you have friends that are backing you up/helping you out when you need it. Hopefully this does work out for you before your son is born so it's one less thing to worry about/concentrate on
