NOW WITH PICS...

Nieghbor appologized for damage said he'd pay to have the scratches buffed out. Poll is now moot.


Well the detailing lasted one day, then last night the nieghbors accross the street were shooting off fireworks and it got hit. Talking nice to them didn't work and I had to call the police who almost locked them all up cause of how drunk they all were and trying to start fights with the cops!!!!!!

So should I let the 2 scratches on my car slide? Ones on the roof and is about an inch and a half long. The one on the hood is about 5 individual scratches each about an inch long. Or should I make them pay to have it buffed out? Now making them pay will probly involve sueing them in small claims court and in which case it'd be a slam dunk win for me seeing I have the remains of the rockets and they were the only ones for 3 blocks shooting them off.

So let it go and try to buff it out myself, or sue the nieghbors?

Fireworks......



House behind my car were they came from......



Where damage is on the hood...... Keep in mind I was able to buff some of it out. But I can still see it.



Better shots of hood.....



And where the damage is on the roof.......



Better shots of roof.......

That sucks! pics? Depends how bad the damage is, if you can buff it out, i'd say no big.. this time.. if not sue.

Sue them!

Go and talk to them now that they are sick and hung-over and tell them you'd like for them to pay $xxx.xx to have your car buffed out...If they say **** you, no or whatever then tell them you'd rather not take this to court have have them end up paying more.

Make it sound like your trying to help them out.

I would try to talk to them again once they are sober and explain everything to them. If they are rude though and still refuse to pay for the damages then go ahead and sue them :0)

QuickShift

Dont think so...I think the neighbours that paid for the detail were beside him...

cyanotikat

Yea I would say go over and try to talk to them saying how much it'll cost to fix it, then if they're still being dicks tell them you'll sue over it and if they still don't do anything, go ahead and sue 'em.

Jackalope

Different nieghbors. The others are great! These guys are ********!!!!

inquisit99

th problem with sueing is, its gonna be ur word vs theirs. if they are ******** i feel they would have no problems lieing in court about it.

Come on Jack, you aren't new!

moved to pictures/videos.

IsItFast?

No it wont. He has the fireworks, and can get a copy of the police report where they were called out. They were shooting off fireworks, the car got damaged, police were called - chances are quite good he will win in court. But - I would talk to them first.

Actually I would try to buff them out myself first, then if that fails, ask them to pay or take them to small claims. Just get a copy of the police report (its public record) first. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.

inquisit99

did u actually see them do it?

Jackalope

I also have a police report and 3 cops as witnesses that they were shooting them off. In small claims court all you have to do is show it probubly happened not that it did beyond a shadow of a doubt. Besides I can also have the guys who detailed it the day before testify it had no scratchs when they did it.

Yes myself AND the police witnessed them shoot them off and felt the crap rain down in us while we standing next to my car.

Scythe_Snake

Sue their asses off Terry. >=(

BTW where is the M3? I thought they hit that at 1st O_O

dude it sounds like you need to move I would try buffing it myself if that didnt work then take them to court. I was cutting my grass about a month ago and heard a noise from the mower. Well the next day my ******* of a neighbor came over and said i dinged his charger v6 base model turd, with a rock. So i go over and look at it and it was a small ding. He was like see this is what you did. then he points a few inches over and said its easy to do ive done it before. When he said that i was like yea im not paying for something that ur ass probably did

I'd say talk to them sober and try to negotiate a price, then buff the scratches out yourself. If they dont want to cooperate, then threaten them saying you are gonna take them to court and that you have witnesses and stuff. Yet, it would be a hassle taking them to court. You're gonna be ending up with Judge Mathis

Jackalope

Well he just came over and appologized to me, my wife and my family and tld me he'd pay for any damages caused by them last night. He actualy cried while he was appologizing!

So I guess the poll is moot now.

Kept breaking down, had to sell it.

2K5SS/SC?

Well at least he apologized and and offered to pay for the damages. My recaro seat has a slight burn in it from a cinder off a firework last year because I left my sunroof open while I went in the house for something. I was pretty pissed, but that sort of **** happens every now and then.
