Default RE: Car was Vandalized last night/with bow in it

Germ, you are a good man for just calling their parents. Will teach them a lesson and not have the cops involved. About 3 years ago when I was living out on 7 acres in the middle nowhere, a drunk driver tore through my driveway, took out my mailbox, and ran head on into a tree. I was sitting downstairs at 9pm and heard a loud boom! I come out of my house thinking my wife and kids got into an accident. I see a guy with blood all over his face walking down the middle of the road. I was like oh crap! Long story short I never turned the guy in..he was a master carpenter and said he was in a terrible mood because some guys stole stuff off a jobsite that day and just plain got drunk....I gave him a good talking to about my kids and how he could have killed my whole family. The guy started to weep and boy I let him have it. I got him home. I towed his truck up into my yard, demolished. He came over the next day, towed the car and completely fixed my mailbox. He apologized and said thank you a thousand times for not turning him and that he made a terrible mistake. His 50 yeard old mom was with him (he was in his mid 20's) and she was letting him have it..the guy started to cry again...damn!

1 year later and I am bone dry on cash trying to sell my house. I call the guy and he comes over and re-frames my entire downstairs/repairs drywall, and does other stuff. I told him before he came over that I would pay him fair value for his labor but I needed the work done ASAP. My wife was home when he came over. She said he just did the work and left, never asked for any payment.
