This girl hit my car. She got out, checked the damage and jumped back in the car and rolled out. My nosey neighbor Doris (Love her) saw that shit and snitched immediately. She left me a note, and then when I called her back she was literally riding around the neighborhood looking for the van. HILARIOUS! Anyway we get a note from the girl the next day with contact information. At this point we've already called one of my wife's homies to take the report and put as a hit and run. So anyway I call the girl and we talk and she asks if we can do this without Cops and insurance. I ask why? "well i'm on probation and if I have any contact with police i go to jail"
See this is the point where i'm thinking should I tell her my wife is a detective? I don't do that though. She's young, she made a mistake and all in all we're still eating good and my kids are safe so I can deal with a little bullshit if its going to keep another young brown kid outta jail.
She's dying to get this paid for over the weekend before the owner comes back. That ain't happening though. I talk to the owner of the van that the girl was driving when she hit my car (since she's not the owner and wasn't supposed to be driving the car at all) and she's livid but she's hoping I don't drag her into this. So she tells me she's a Single mother of 5 and none of the kids have the same father, living on a fixed income and basically asking if I could not bring her insurance into this. I knew it was going to be her before she told me. I know her kids, they're not always great kids, they steal every now and then but for the most part they're just bored because their mother is always working and never around to do much with them. So knowing this I'm like naw i'm not trynna add extra stress to this lady's life, she's got enough to deal with.
This is our 2ndish car The kid mobile (I drive), and my wife has a take home unmarked car so this is the car that's parked on the street. It's 13 years old, rusty and ugly but great on the inside. Smells good, everything works, and drives great. So we're not giving the car up. It just makes the car uglier. So really in the grand scheme i'm good.
Anyway I have my wife look up what she was on probation for. Man listen, she got caught in a car with a dude with BRICKS in it. She copped to possession, but they dropped the intent to distribute for the probation. Then do a little more digging and she booked on an assault and battery charge that got dropped (fighting her ex's new chick) She's young and impulsive, but she's not a bad person and i'm not trynna ruin this girl's life off of a mistake.
So I got the estimate, she had me fax it, has been pretty stand up about her ability to pay and when I can expect payment. The dude at the body shop said don't put the money back into the car just take the money, which I was going to do anyway.
So I got my first downpayment and i'll get the rest over the next month. So basically i'm trying to be MR. Nice guy, lets see if I finish last on this one. Get out the room, http://getouttheroom.podomatic.com
