What happens next? I am curious. I know that's like a court order he has to pay you but like, how does all this happen?

So very true. I had a guy owe me $2,300 in restitution for stealing a bunch of stuff out of a Blazer I had about nine years ago. He was caught a year later and here I am now, eight years after he was found, arrested, and owed me the money and he still owes almost $500.

Either way though, it is great that it is in your favor :beerchug:

YEAH!!! Finally, some good news from Brian. I think the last bit of good news I've heard from you was when you found out about your PA's coils, and that had to have been about two years ago, lol.

Collection is not an issue. He lost the suit, he has insurance, insurance pays. If I don't have a check by the end of this week, I'd be very surprised.

Sorry for no updates.

Check came in two weeks later, had a brief bobble with some language on the letter of satisfaction (Just a document saying that I received payment in full). Haven't had a chance to get the car in to the body shop yet, though, as Sean has been driving it while his van was down with busted brake lines. I've got it back now, so I should be able to get it done soon. Found a door at the junkyard for $54 that has one tiny little dent and is one shade off from my color. Should take a ton of money off the repair bill. Still looking for a mirror.
