Well not quite.
When i was exiting my School I Bumped a kid on a bike. I was looking to the left waiting for an opertunity to move forward (slowly moving, foot halfway off the break) when all of the sudden *screech or boom.. something...* theres a kid on the ground next to a bike with another kid on a bike behind him. I get out of the car and this cocky kid is screaming at me. I told him and his friend to move over to the parking lot so we can check the damage. (They told me they are both 13) Anyway, his wheel was bent, he had a scratch on his arm (he said i ran over it?: ), Trying to get me to spit out money fast he quickly noted that his bike was custom and i owed him $500.. . Then his frend showed me a gash on his foot, Which, Judgeing by the dead skin flap overhanging the gash would have it seem to be a week old, and he never even fell. I ignored that and he gave me his number and i drove them home.
2 hours later I called them to make sure everyone is fine. The one kid tells me that his friends arm is broken (they apperently went to the emergency room, but he is now sitting in the comfort of his own home whichout any surgery done.) Also he quickly added his friends back also hurts and he, himself needs to get stitches for his toe (which as i commented before, dident look recent)
Now they wanted $900 i said that i wouldent be able to pay that off at once. Then he quickly said, " Would you like for me to follow a police report?" i respond "no, il call you back".
So now i know these kids are just trying to make money off of me, No signs of recent Damage on these kids, I decided to let my dad who is a Lawyer handle it. We reviewed everything and called them back, telling them to have their father call us back. He once again quickly commented that his dad is a police officer (seeing any connections?). My dad says oh well, have him call me.
2 Minutes later the kids calls back and apperently talked to his dad and mom. Aperently his dad wanted his mom to file a police report but his mom wanted us to just give them money and forget about it. My dad told them not to call back again until a parent is on the phone. Its been nearly 3 hours and they still havent called.
I was defentally willing to pay for all damages and i also realize that this was my fault. But i do not respect liars, who are trying to cheat me and make money off of me by bribary. If they want their money im sure i can pay off $80 bucks the legal way. No fake broken arms, old wounds, fake Cop dadies, Or 13-yearolds bribing me (this is actully common amoung arab americans in my area) so they can get some money. Its funny how they never got their parents into it yet. I doubt they will. Until then i have a front bumper to touch up on...
