In my case, part of the guy's sentence was to pay restitution and that is why the D.A.'s letter came some time after the event. I really don't remember what he was charged with or convicted of. He had meth in his car, he was drunk, and the damage he did to my car would have qualified for felony vandalism. Vandalism is "wobbly" in California, it can in some cases be charged as felony or misdemeanor. It was definitely enough monetary damage to be charged as a felony, but they may not have done that. The guy looked about 17, but the cop told me he was 22 so he was getting a ride to "The Big Boy Jail".

What did you see on the road today?

That's a 1st Edition. They start at $65495 USD or $69995 USD with 4 MOTION. -

I went through a similar situation a few years back. A drunk was having a meltdown on a freeway onramp after having his car break down. He decided that throwing rocks was good therapy and took out my windshield and put a good sized dent in my passenger rear door. Cops were called, he was arrested, drugs were found, etc. It cost me my $250 deductible, plus I upgraded my rental car to something other than the brown Kia Rio that Enterprise wanted to give me. I think I was out around $325 or so. I got a letter from the D.A. offering restitution. I sent them my receipts and I got a check from them about a month later. My insurance company was out around $3500, so I told the adjuster that the guy was being made to pay restitution. They couldn't have been less interested in recouping the money they paid for the claim.

OK, that looks like a Ford Escape to me which isn't an electric car. It may be a PHEV (or HEV, or ICE), but the battery pack isn't the size of an actual electric car if it is a hybrid, and it has a dead dinosaur juice storage device (gas tank) in any case. Lots of things can catch a garage on fire, and the cars inside burn quite nicely when ignited by other sources. My best wishes to your neighbors. Please post if there is a Go Fund Me for them.

This was a while ago. The Ranger had non-remote flag-style mirrors. The more I think about it, I think that I gave Dad two Crown Royal drawstring bags to cover the mirrors with 🙂 Dad's next door neighbor had an F250 with color-matched steelies and dog-dish caps. They weren't overly shiny or anything, but the crows would parade around it, stopping to look at their reflection, pooping on the driveway.

Dad had the same issue a long time ago with his Ranger. I have forgotten what kind of bird it was, but it would sit on the mirror, lean forward, and peck at its reflection in the mirror. It got so excited that it could just....... well, you know the rest. Dad started wrapping a towel over the mirror and the problem went away.

"The Seven Trashcans of California" : My Photography
Rodent replied to 1972coronet's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
The most random piece of discarded trash I have ever seen was a clockspring from a vehicle steering column in an alley in Monterey, CA. The alley smelled strongly of pee as well. -

Don't want to be Grumpy Cat, but.... I visited my normal (but not favorite) HL last Saturday evening with the idea to buy two Revell kits that I decided I needed since it was 40% off week. As I walked in, the two checkout lines each much have had 15 customers waiting. I had to pee, and there are enough unhoused folks in the area now that you need an employee to give you the code to the restrooms now (new to me at this location). No employees available anywhere of course. I looked at Amazon and discovered that I could have both of these kits delivered to my door for about $2/kit more than I could get them from HL for and I wouldn't have to waste 20 minutes of my life behind Karens with overflowing shopping carts arguing about 50 cents on some dried flowers. Done. $39.95 minus 40% is not a deal for reissued Revell kits.

Its farts would probably smell like burning wires. -
Children should be not seen, not heard, and preferably composted before school age. (Of course I don't really mean this. Just SOME children)

At least it's not under your butt, over your legs, or in the pickup cab with you anymore. I survived 5 years in a Squarebody GMC with dual sidesaddle tanks without blowing up and burning to death, but that was probably because no news network planted pyrotechnic devices when I wasn't looking. -
I can't answer your question, but I have had the same issue with Tamiya rattle cans for over a year now. It makes me sad because they used to be a no-brain way to an excellent paint job.
