First off you guys should see this cane, 5ft long with a hard ball on the end. He swings it pretty hard too. Yes I will put a pic up here shortly. I am just going to let it go i suppose. Getting an estimate on it today though...

I wonder if it would fall under your no fault insurance. As everyone else is saying don't be that guy who has the beef with the blind guy it not his fault. If you can't get it repaired under no fault I would eat the deductible and be done with it.

Good luck,

THANK YOU!!! I was thinking the same thing. I mean I am all for him getting out and being able to live the highest quality life possible but if he is going to keep hitting people's cars maybe it is best he has some sort of support staff or something similar. Just my $.02

On a final note: Let it go, and karma will let you drive a Porsche in the afterlife.

That's what sidewalks are for. Blind people and ALL bicyclists.

Too bad the guy was blind instead of deaf, then you could've shown up in your costume and apprehended him.

I keep waiting for the punch line or other shoe to drop...... there just has to be more to this story, like the blind guy is a closet Corvette man or something. Or you're being set up. I mean how random, a blind guy walking down the street whacks his cane into a beautiful Porsche and cracks the bumper requiring $500 worth of work!?! Sounds too crazy.

Given the absurdity, I'd definitely chalk it up to a test of your character. I'd let it go and let the universe dole out its justice.

As noted, what goes around comes around. Some deaf guy will probably not hear the blind guys tapping of the cane as the blind guy comes up from behind, and the deaf guy will turn around at the wrong moment knocking the cane out from under the blind guy, breaking the cane in two pieces with a replacement cost of $500 or something.
