Yeah, I'm thinking of asking for a certified cheque, or else doing a contract stating that if the cheque fails to clear then I will prosecute him to the full extent of the law.

True.
But as long as I get a cheque for $900 out of this, I'll be happy.

 

hey i have been on the other side of this, i was pullin a trailer with one of our cube trucks and it was a tight street. well needless to say i "aperantly" caught someones mirror with the truck or the trailer and never new it. couple hours later the boss called me and asked what happend, i said i didn't hear or see anything, i don't know who told who what, but the company ended up paying for it. i have been yankin things around for years and it only "happend" once to me, and i don't really think i caught it, but i would never know anyhow, so maybe this guy might not have realized it untill later. still sucks for him and you, but if he is going to pay, and fess up to it, can't be that bad. BUT i could be wrong, he might have known and just tried to get away with it. and i would make him pay for the whole deal, direct factory replacement, no one should get off easy at anyones expense, good luck!!!

 

Alright, so I'm a day away from getting paid out for the broken mirror, and some dumb took it upon themselves to key the entire right side of my truck. I'm pretty pissed off right now. It happened while I was at work, there's a ton of kids that walk to school past my house, and I swear if I find the guy who did it I'll break his face. The mirror was bad enough, but now this? This was cowardly. The mirror was an accident. But some moron thought it would be funny to gouge the paint from front to back on the side of my truck, without even having the ***** to show me who they are. And unlike the mirror, I can't just waltz in and get money for the repair... I'll have to pay the deductible...So all the money I get from the mirror will go straight to the body shop for this. I hate this city more and more every day. That old belief about Canadians being nicer and more friendly than the Americans is a load of crap.

 

sounds to me like your on a good run of bad luck

Sorry to hear of this now as well

 

Yeah, it took me a solid day to calm down. I'm still pretty choked about it, my truck has pretty flawless paint on it. I just want it to look like new again. I was considering one of those fancy Viper alarm systems when I first got my truck, but I figured I was just being paranoid....now I'm not so sure.

 

good used .45 cots about the same........




oh and by the way its CHECK......

 

you should buy these i got a buddy that bought them and they look good Discount Auto Mirrors - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD

 

I know how you feel! Got whacked in a parking lot a few years ago, guy gave me all his insurance info et cetera, but like an idiot I didn't call the cops and get a report. Went and got an estimate--about $1200 to get a new bumper and paint the scratches on the body. Turned it into his insurance, they didn't pay. No report, and he wouldn't authorize the claim. Never got a dime out of the guy.

 

haha, unless I stand next to my truck with a loaded colt, I don't know that it will prevent random vandalism.

At first I didn't know what you were talking about....Check?? oh...you mean Cheque! (In Canada we use the British spelling for most words)
