This happens alot in Houston ( texas )...lots of...'immigrants' don't have insurance and will run if they get in an accident...
Have cornered one guy before, side swiped me on the feeder road to the freeway--told him that if he didn't come up with 600$$ for the damage ( I just pulled a number out of my ass that I knew would cover the damage ) I would call INS ( Immigration and Naturalization Service ) and keep him there untill they got there...there were 5 of us in the blazer and he was alone...I let him use my cell to call his 8th cousin or whatever, and less than 10 minutes later, this dude shows up with a HUGE wad of cash ( easily more than 3gs ) counts me out 7oo bucks, and says, "the 7th is to make sure you forgot the plate numbers"...guess I should have asked for more...
but yeah, that dude's a dipshit--now he's got law problems...
