INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The United States Postal Service (USPS) refused to cover the cost of repairs after a working mail carrier jumped on the back of an east side resident’s truck while fleeing from a neighbor’s unleashed dogs.
The incident occurred Sept. 9, 2019 in the 700 block of Melvenia Street, according to Marcus French, the owner of the Dodge Ram 1500.
French provided copies of repair estimates for dents and paint damage he alleged were caused by the mail carrier, totaling approximately $4,500.
Footage from home security cameras obtained by News 8 shows the frenzied chase from at least two angles.
In the video, the unidentified USPS mail carrier can be seen tossing a handful of envelopes in the air and running up French’s driveway with two pit bull-type dogs in hot pursuit.
The video shows him leaping onto the back of the truck, swinging his legs over the side of the vehicle and resting his feet behind the cab in an apparent effort to escape the dogs.
The security footage has no audio.

Yes.
We have bought several for under that and turned them into rental properties.
They are not in the best part of town but after they were cleaned and touched up they were pleasant places to live.
“Youtube videos show how the paint won’t match or blend in repairs”
That’s why I buy cars generally in white or black, no metallic. Still get the paint professionally mixed, but can easily apply and blend it myself. Do have one “colored” vehicle, a gold-mist van, and with professionally-supplied paint did manage to blend a small mid-bumper repair successfully.
and somewhere in between lies that it costs to fix it ;)
“and somewhere in between lies that it costs to fix it ;)”
Exactly, and both sides know it’s gotta get fixed and it ain’t gonna be for free :). Which means that the vast majority of the time it gets worked out - between parties that have both mutual and conflicting objectives.
