That is so crazy and so sorry to hear that... It would have made more sense to let them take it...call the rent a car place, have your insurance give you a brand new one...now you have a car that has been damaged, and has all kinds of bad memories.
Also your kids buddy, what if that guy turned around and stuck you with the screw driver? The car is not worth all that; we pay insurance not to have to deal with that kind of nonsense
