You break one of his legs & 1 arm with the baseball bat & drive away. What's he going to do? call the cops.

All said and done it is very difficult to pull the trigger as there is no going back. When u are doing so u r whole life flashes in front of u. u start to think is it worth it. Sometimes it is good to walk off

once this is done then the following things follow:
1) get a witness or more.
2) lawsuites (means missed work).


my 2 cents, again you always pick the battle which is sure win else walk away.

Talking

just carry a sack of oranges in your car at all times. If some one trys somthing beat the with the oranges, and their will be no bruises. When the cop comes, you can just say "I dont know, He just passed out

No, because it was a custom part, and my insurance only covers OE parts.

I caught up with one of the guys ,and through him down and told him if he moved I would beat the **** out of him.(he was only like 5'2 Im 6'1.5) I then called the cops, and they arrested both the guys, but while I was waiting for the cops. The other guy ditched my deck some where, and it was never found. I had was one of those in dash 7 inch monitor decks with a built in DVD (Panasonic). Any ways it was a ***** trying to get any money out of the guys at all. When I went down to the probation office, the cops wouldn't charge the guys for the brain unit they stole, and what was even worse, is that the cops only apprised my deck at around $500 (I paid $1200). The guy maybe paid me $200 of what he owed me, before I just stopped getting payments. when I went to the probation office to complain, they treated me like I was a criminal, and I was told that I wouldn't see any of the money that was owed to me. If I were U I would stay on top of this, and make sure that you get your car fixed, because the cops don't give a rats *** whether you have dents, or not.
You shoulda got your money back vigilante style, a little 5'2 guy and your almiost 6'2. You should beat that 700 bucks outta him.

when i was standing with the guy he didnt say, any thing. when I was aproching my car, and asked them both what they were doing, they kind of just looked bewildered, and then ran. I didnt really hear them either of them speak untill the cops started to question them, and what they had to say I couldnt understand, beacuse it was in spanish.

any ways, if I were to do it over again, I would have skiped calling the cops, and just started chocking the guy until either his partner came back with my deck, or got him to call his partner to give me back my deck. A guy whos being chocked cant scream, and If some one sees me they wont be seeing my elbows flying, as im beating his face in.

almost got to test my ***** this morning.

I was on my way to work. Going just about 50 in a 40. This dude comes SMASHING up on my butt and at the last minute goes to pass me...double yellow...curve.

I didn't want to get wrecked by an oncoming car because you know they'd swerve from the jack *** into me. so I punched it. he quickly got behind me and I checked up on him...just a wee bit pissed.

He pulled over and undid his belt I kept going....we were literally in front of my office. So I rolled up to the corner store and pulled in. He busted a quick left and took off.

WTF!!!! is with people. If he had waited literally 5 seconds I would have been in my office drive way.

Crazy freakin idiots.





so did you talk to your insurance co yet????
