Not too mention the fact that no matter where your car is, it's always in danger.

 

Other than Thursday, the only day the guy did actual cutting on the tree was Monday in which my neighboor did asked me to move my car. The guy started cutting the tree about 3 pm on Monday. Rained Tuesday. Came over Wednesday about 9 am to cut up and haul away brush on the ground. Started cutting the tree again Thursday about 1:30 pm. So how am I suppose to estimate the time the guy would start cutting again when he didn't have a set schedule?
I made an error by stating he comes over each day to ask me to move my car. I unintentionally referred to the times when my neighbor asks me to move my car when he mows his lawn as not to get grass all over it. And when I stated "cutting the tree down", I ment the entire process not just sawing the tree.
No, I don't expect sympathy from anyone on here. You nor anyone else I don't personally know don't mean **** to me, so I could care less. I do have and pay for comprehensive insurance so nothing to learn from the advice you gave. Moving on.

 

So, to summarize, all of you are saying his car was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your all nuts. Thats like blaming a bystander in a shooting.

Personally, Ive become very accustomed to gravity over the last 25 years. The guy on the other side of the fence was the idiot, and is the one to blame. Plus, he's a coward for not being a man about it.

My FB has been hit twice in the last two months in my own driveway, by my cousin and aunt. Of course, I dont even report it. I just tell them how much it'll cost me to repair it and work out a deal.

Get your pictures and take him to civil court. You could probably tell the guy that your gonna do it, but dont threaten him with it. That way he'd be more likely to cooperate instead of going inside to figure where he put the keys to gun cabinet. You may get your money, but it will suck to live next door to the guy you sued.

 

If a shooting had occured on several days previously during the same timeframe, and the bystander knew that another shooting was likely to occur, then yes...

After being asked to move his car on previous occasions and upon noticing that the work requiring the car to be moved had not been completed, the logical course of action would have been to continue to move the car until the work was done. It's not like they just showed up and started cutting without his knowledge. Figure it out.

The fact that you can replace it for $500 must help considerably... what are you doing in the 3rd gen. forum??

 

Is it a Home owner ? There is home owners Insurance !

And take him to Court You'll Win !

 

What I would do is confront him and demand payment for the damage he caused, if he does not give you conpensation then basically you have 2 choices either get the law and cops involved or take it into your own hands and beat the **** out of him, but with this method you most likely wont get any compensation but you may feel good abou yourself after..

 

Ha! What a dick...

 

from the way it sounds, he wasnt having to move his car every day, due to rain and the fact that the guy was just picking up limbs instead of cutting them down. and since his neighbor didnt ask him to move his car, he had no idea that he needed to move it. i for one would not move my car out of my own driveway into the street where its more likey to be struck by something unless i have a reason to. if i heard a chain saw, that'd might be enough reason to move it bottom line is that the guy cutting down the tree fugged up and should of offered to to fix your car, at least that's what i would do.

your best bet is to approach your neighbor and his chain saw massacre friend asking to have the damages repaired. if that doesent work, then get out the legal stuff...

 

Most of the time when people threaten with a lawyer means they can't handle the situation themselves. Generally 90% of the people who threaten a lawyer can't afford one or just don't follow through. It's usually a scare tactic. It's been overplayed one to many times in my opinion. "I'm gonna sue you!"... whatever...

 

Well, good think I didn't have to park on the street today. High speed chase by the cops down my street... the guy they were chasing was hauling ***. I'm sure my car would have been at more risk parked on the street today.

 

Sorry about your car! You can always organize an FD meet in front of his house... Have a 100 FDs and owners surround his house, wear black leather, drink beer, brake bottles, play loud music and chant till he hands over the randsom money...

 

LMAO,

 

but i seriously doubt it's possible to get 100 FD's in that close of a radius together.

 

Have you spoken to your neighbor about this situation?

 

Well, that just proves how smart you were to leave it near/under the tree being worked on...

 

Every state is different, but if it happened to me here in The People's Republic of California, my homeowner's insurance policy would cover damages and Allstate, my insurance carrier, would go after my neighbor for remuneration. This is not speculation on my part. I have turned a compensation issue involving my car being damaged while parked in my driveway over to my homeowner's insurance in the past. You may wish to inform your neighbor ahead of time in case he/she wishes to handle it before your insurer does. That would be to his/her advantage, because I know going through my insurer is a lot more expensive than if the problem were resolved with "out of pocket" money.

Hopefully you are "made whole" (which includes rental expenses of a like vehicle) quickly.

 

Need to clean these forums out of crapheads. everytime someone starts a topic some *** has to jump and and tear him down. The dudes car just got trashed while parked on his own property. Give him a break. And if you got a smartazz comment how bout you click on a different link and chuckle to yourself cuz you are so much smarter than us all.

Sorry bout your car bro. Sucks royal. you need to call the cops so it gets documented and pictures taken ASAP. without the documentation it's tough to do anything. take your documentation and file in small claims court for the damages. get a few estimates etc; don't need a lawyer. Good luck

 

I agree 100% with this. I am really getting sick of all this forum bullshit. I was just up at deals gap this past weekend and was anyone talking ****. NO. Everyone was having a great time and respected everyone elses opions. I mean we had a a pink FD there and did people go up to him and call him a ******* dumbass for doing it? NO! If they liked they said so and if they didn't they left him alone. Anyways back on topic, this poor man's pride joy now has a softball sized dent in it that was not his fault and y'all are gonna come on here and say it was his own fault for parking in his OWN DRIVEWAY. WTF is wrong with you. Especially you Jimlab. Why don't you quit being a ********, get off the froum. and finish your ******* car that should have been done 2 years ago.

Now I will stop my rant.

 

Doesn't sound like the guy cutting the tree was bonded or licensed as a tree surgeon....was he or was he just helping a friend?

Tim

 

Sorry for your luck my man! I had something like that happen to me and It
wasn't worth it to proceed it! Good luck!

JP

 

I happen to believe in rational thought and taking responsibility for your own actions and mistakes. Apparently you're not familiar with either concept.

Because it's people like me who help keep this "froum" free so whiny little ***** like yourself have a place to voice your worthless opinions.

 

Then why did you post about it in the first place, if you don't care what anyone thinks? You came looking for sympathy and didn't get it from everyone... boo-*******-hoo. Deal with it.

 

Whatever happened to finding the guy's website and posting "the rx-7 club knows about you" on it?

 

about time to update the avatar Jim....how about a roller rocker or something like that?

 

How's that? Looks a little like a clarinet.
