In December, a neighbor hit my brick mailbox with their car and destroyed it. They preferred to handle the matter civilly instead of going through insurance, so I agreed. Albeit, I did file a police report.
Cut to a month later. Still no mailbox. Finally called their car insurance company and filed a claim, which lit a fire under their butts to at least erect a temporary mailbox (ie. on a wooden pole).
Been in contact via text now and again, but with not more than lip service.
Cut to today. Sick of it. Called their insurance (Progressive) to reopen the claim, and they’re cutting me a check for the estimate amount I sent them.
