Today, my neighbor's son siphoned the fuel out of my lawn mower and put it in his car. What he didn't realize is that the fuel mixture I use in my lawn mower would ruin his car engine. His dad says it's my fault and actually insists I should pay his pissant son's repair bill. FML

A. Take them to court for taking your oil B. Get more money out of them for harassment as he is harassing you saying it's his fault C. Get them for trespassing You're in the money

Can you take legal action against him for siphoning your oil?

well that guy and his son both suck. ...

You can take legal action against anyone for pretty much anything now a days I could sue someone for looking at me wrong. As long as a lawyer will take the case then you can.

That doesn't mean the case will work in your favour, however. But in this case, stealing gas IS a crime.

I'm not sure how much it'd do. I guess if either are on bail it may get it revoked though. He should just tell the Dad that the cost of the new engine is a moron tax.

45 what are you talking about? Bail is the financial asset you put up to get out of jail...

I believe he meant if they are out on bail, because if you break a law while out on bail, it is revoked..

Take him to court if he presses the issue. You have to have "clean hands," meaning you can't be awarded for damages caused while committing a crime.

he should take legal action his neighbor foe them being so stupid

Actually, I remember a man who got injured while robbing a house won a settlement against the home insurance company.

I think you're actually remembering the movie Liar Liar 😂🙄

@79, not always. There is an exception if there is considered to be a valid duty of care which the defendant breached, which is why a burglar who got trapped in someone's garage for three days subsisting on dog food was able to successfully sue the homeowner's insurance: this standard prevents booby traps and blatantly unsafe conditions from being protected even if the claimant was engaged in criminal conduct. Of course, none of that applies to this case in any way that I can tell.

some lady is suing me after hitting me, because she said the chrome on my truck was distracting her.

Can't you call the police for thievery and harassment if this continues?

An idiot raising a bigger idiot. Awesome.

He won't make any money taking this to small claims. Even if his neighbor has any which I doubt. Gotta sue the people with money. If you don't, even when you win you lose.

A) lose the case because you have no proof. B) get laughed at by the judge for trying to claim that's harassment. C) lose again because you have no proof.

There's the door ---> [] now get out with that cheesy comment

Cheesy? I thought it was Gouda.

It was a lot cheddar than most the other comments.

My only problem with it is that he felt the need to point it out with capital letters. Otherwise I probably would've laughed.

I wake up every morning feeling energetic and ready for the day. Then..idiots happen.

Maybe you should send the pissant sons car to a pisaant repair man and pay a little extra to make sure the car is still piss poor

trying too hard dude, plus that would be a waste of money

No, because they're just trying to get money. His son's car doesn't need to get repaired, because it isn't broken. Mix gas dose not do anything to a regular gas engine. It's no different than an older car burning oil.
