The Broken Window…And the Bullshit Continues…
Well seeing that our lovely neighbors are not going to pay for our window to be fixed (at least not the entire bill ) I had no choice but to go and file a police report so that I can call my insurance company and have them go after these people to pay. The police officer came over, looked at the window and told me to right out exactly what happened, and while I did that he would go over and talk to the people and see what they had to say.
The cop came back just as I was done writing the whole story out and he mentioned that he got their side of the story, funny though because he said that the owners were not home but the sitter was there and told him what happened. I don’t remember talking to a sitter about the window the day it broke, at any rate he asked if anyone saw this kid break the window so I knew right away that these people were going to use that as an excuse not to pay for my window. Ok, you guys want to be assholes about it bring it on, I have witnesses that heard the mother tell me that her son confessed to breaking it!
The report will not be done for a few days I will then be able to pick it up and call my insurance company. The nerve and ignorance of people. I swear if I see that kid on my property I will call the cops, I am getting sick and tired of people playing stupid and trying to get out of their responsibilites! Plus the cop mentioned that there will be a juvi officer involved. What? Why? I asked, he said because the kid is 13 years old and he admitted to doing property damage. Oh great says the King, just what we need, more freakin’ drama!! How was I suppose to know that a juvi officer would be called. Well maybe this will scare the crap out of these people and have them pay for my window. I told the officer I didn’t want the kid in trouble with the law I just want the window fixed, but he said it was out of our hands and up to the juvi officer. So the saga continues…….

It’s a real shame for the kid, but the parents need their arses kicked.

xbox I agree with you. It still blows my mind on how they can say they will pay then turn around and expect us to pay half. The nerve of some people. What is the world coming to?

What a joke - people sure aren’t “neighborly” like they used to be. Verbal agreements hold no weight anymore, now everything needs to be in writing and practically approved by an attorney.
Like you said - hopefully the juvi officer being involved will scare them and they’ll just end up paying for it.
