Sometimes the Police are in the right place at the right time

Colt made long guns as well as revolvers ? One hears much of the latter, nothing of the former. I suppose next you will tell me Winchester made revolvers ?

Colt made revolving rifles - basically a revolver with a stock and a really long barrel. They also made pump action rifles from 1884.

dont want to rain on your parade but i doubt a 16 year old loser will have the $$$ to pay and the cops or court wont be able to make him either

agreed. would go getting your hopes up there. Actually you will be lucky not to have to pay for the emotional distress that you caused him by parking your car in a fashion that it was there for him to beat up in front of a cop and get caught. You need to think about your actions.

Whanau conference, whanau conference...........done deal. Sorry victim.

Just make sure that you are understanding and realise that it wasnt his fault. It was the moon and the tides and you must take responsibility for the things that he cant be fucked taking responsibility for (well someone has too)

The police seem to think we should get the cost of repair and the cost of the Taxi

With all the work the police have to get through you think they wouldn't have time to double as a stand up comedian.

Not yet,still waiting for the Family Court Hearing where I"ll get to give him a piece of my mind.........or something

Just be sure to take along your chequebook to pay for the damage you have done to this kid.

The Winchester 44/40 and 32/20 were made briefly after an agreement with Colt whereby Colt made a handgun to take the Winchester centre-fire cartridges. After some argument, they agreed that Colt would make handguns and Winchester the rifles. This agreement stood for a number of years, but I'm not certain for just how long they were manufacturing basically identical handguns.

What do the little twats parents think though?

And are they broken-arse work dodgers or decent people who will make sure he pays??

Finally got to the Family Group Conference today and met the youth and his family,quite nice people,who were verry upset for what had happend.
His school teacher also there spoke of how well he was doing at school

The outcome was, they have payed us in full for all damages and he gets to do some communitly service, with no bad record to his name

It seems he just got mixed up with the wrong crowd and has learnt his lesson
If he keeps his nose clean he should have a good future

Did they explain why he targeted your son's car?

It seemed very random.

Good to see this FGC worked.

Though I feel it would have a lot to do with the kids folks and if the more common yoofs and their half wit parents had failed to turn up the situation would be the more al ot different

Time will tell. I think he learnt his lesson because he was caught, not that he decided to change his ways....

Glad you got some semblance of justice.

Sounds like a good result. Good to hear "the system" works sometimes
