What's the kid's bike look like?
When I was about 10 a guy opened his car door into me. Wrecked my front wheel,
bent his door and hurt his wrist. He yelled and yelled and yelled, made me call
my dad. My dad came over, made the guy call the cops (when I say made, I mean
by force, my dad was a very large power lifter). Police report was written, he
got a citation and I got a new bike complements of the guys insurance company.
