Hope your weekend was better than mine

My vote is sending a peace offering to the neighbors. When two neighbors are unhappy with each other there is only one civil thing to do. I would take them over 2 dozen Ex-Lax Chocolate Chip cookies and let bygones be bygones.

PM for recipe
 
Just thought I'd report back on the outcome.

I filed a claim against my comprehensive insurance and got the rear glass replaced. They did a good job but left some glass in the trunk and all over the driveway. :angry:

I showed my neighbors the receipt and indicated that they were on the hook for the $100 deductible and the husband walked over a check for $150. He had a look on him, unlike what his wife was sporting, that read "sorry for my kids f&#$-up and my wife's attitude." I got the mommy-bus back in action ASAP and that was the priority so I guess we're where we expected to end up.

Just another 18 months. Just 18 months and we're outta here. I just have to keep writing, smoking, and looking forward to tomorrow.

Thanks for all the kind words and advice. Should this happen again sometime, somewhere in the future, if I have the time, energy, and inclination, I'll know what I need to do.

Glad to hear it worked out in the end. Still wished it didn't happen but at least the dad sounds like he was somewhat stand-up about it. Hopefully your move will mean better neighbors next time. You moving to Iowa by any chance? :laugh:

Glad to hear it worked out, Wilkey. In 18 months when your PhD comes through, make sure you consider the UofA as a place to teach. Would love to have you in my town to share smokes on a regular basis...it'll also be an honor to have you as a professor to my kids one day.
 
Wilky.

I feel for you. I returned home New Years day to find some one had T-boned my MARK V111. Yes there was THREE people who watched the hole thing. One person even had manged to take down the plat number.

Cops came and took a report.

I contacted them and when I received the report NO PLATE number or anything. I was told just to report it to the insurance.

The police told me it was a hit a run, they were done.

$3,000 in damage, when I asked around about the plate with the neighbors, they no longer hand the number, it went into the trash.

Insurance if I report it goes up 50% for 7 years.

To think just 3 years ago the power was down for 3 days in the hole of lower Michigan, I took the time to cook for these people.

Used up all the food in my frig and freezer.

It's a shame, Jay. And I'm sorry to hear of your situation. I sometimes wonder what happened to the connections between people.
