I bet Northtown offers to waive half or all of the deductible. at least I hope so. It would be great publicity. ---

One of my coworkers had his car stolen and totalled in the city a few years ago. The kid used it to drive to college for a couple weeks before wrecking it into a guard rail and running away. He left his college books in the car, but Buffalo PD still didnt want to do anything about it… he said there was some victims group he contacted that gave him some cash to recoup a little of his losses. Maybe worth considering to help with the out of pocket expense. ---

What a shitty but awesome story. You are definitely a good dude and it sucks that this happened to you. Hopefully the cops nail this guy. You should sue for emotional distress and enter the news article as evidence, you will win. ---

Maybe worth considering to help with the out of pocket expense. And then people wonder why other people take shit into their own hands. You could have video of the crime, handcuff the guy, and drop him off at the station with a signed confession, and he’d end up walking away. ---
