Happy New Year---------------NOT!!!!!!!!!

[ltd]

Was at my parents recently interstate and borrowed my fathers BF to go fishing by a dock. As it is a large dock and boats are moored there you can park right up to the docks edge which I did, and then sat on the esky to enjoy a spot of fishing. Couple of hours in some kids about 16 years old on bikes went by. Unbeknownst to me, one little twirp took out some plastic knife or something and keyed the fairlane on the passenger side. He didn't see me as I was on the right hand side of the car but his giggling alerted me to something odd. The little jerk positively pooped himself when he saw me stand up. So I grabbed the little ****er and he told me to let him go, he knew his rights. His mates stood in the distance watching and not brave enough to help their mate. I saw the damage, got mad and threw the little bastard into the river. Just as he was climbing out I had another look at the damage and then threw his bike in the river as far as I could throw. Kid started crying all sorts of obscenities and threatened to get his dad. His mate gets on the phone and sure enough, dad comes down, tells me I owe him $400.00 for the bike and I told him fine. That'll make it $1600.00 you owe me to respray the side. He then went feral with more F's than his son has probably received at school so I informed him of 'torting' him into the poor or in his case poorer house. Then he turns on his son. Really nice family this one. A threat to call the police finally calmed him down and he apologised (as a way to get out of paying for the damage). Luckily, it was more like a crayon and it just polished off. Now I feel like stink for losing the scumbags bike. Who knew how fast the tides move? Hopefully he will learn a lesson though.
