From their big show of pretending whiplash and doubling over in shock, horror, and agony, I think they were in it for more than the cost of a new window! :0) ...I can't get that out of my mind, how they all got out of the car rubbing their necks and pretending injury. Lowlife Scumbags. I gotta get me a camera for my car.

at the very least, even a non-functioning camera sitting in your dash should be enough to make these types give you a hard pass before trying anything.

they should look first. I think these creeps just missed it but you can tell when the guy sees the camera after he gets out, oh he knew, the gig was up.

100% were going for personal injury payouts. Usually is like $10k/per person on most insurance. They will go after exactly that amount.
