What evidence do you have that it was the same people?
What evidence do you have that it was the same people?
The only evidence i have is testimony by my roomates because prior to all the damage happening they saw his vehicle sitting in front of the house and he came by screaming that if i didn't give him money in 24 hours i would regret it....Other then that i really have no real evidence other than what the police have gathered. Which so far i think is little to nothing.
He hasn't made any solid confessions but through a series of arguments with the man, i can definately tell it was him. With his friends telling me to shut the **** up and take what i deserved. And while i was in court he brought it up saying sarcastically "Oh, sorry about your cars" just one of those things where you can tell they did it, but can't prove it.
i don't think you will win without any evidence, but irregardless, it wouldn't be a class action suit. it's just you vs. defendant1, defendant2, defendant3 and defendant4
If you don't have an eye witness that can testify that he/she seen them do it, it is a very weak case.
Although your suspicion is probably right.... you would have the burden of proving that it was him that did it.
Hopefully the police will come up with something that will get them charged and convicted of vandalism, then you would have enough evidence in a civil claim against him.
Also if four other vehicles were vandalized, I'm surprised nobody seen anything.
Actually, it would be me, my three room mates and him being the defandant.
As for nobody seeing anything its because it all happened in one night, sometime around 4-5am. Nobody was awake at that hour.
I would just hold/wait & see if the police come up with anything before proceeding with a civil suit. If they come up with no proof that it was him, you will have a hard time trying to prove it in court. If the police develop some proof/evidence that it was him, then you would have evidence to use in court.
Sounds like a plan. Thanks, i will wait, watch and see.![]()
