I like how it appears to pick up speed as it moves along and gains traction!

I'm compelled to designate this a *wtf just happened

Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by PlayhousePals.

I'm glad that Fido wasn't playing in the yard! This could have been a LOT worse!

Saw IIX: You didn't see anything.

What a son of a bitch to just fetch the blade and act like nothing happened.

Unbelievable.

What should he do? Cry?

The property damage will be covered by his insurance. Life goes on.

Is that what you would do (or do do) when crashing into a parked car or just damaging someone else's property in general, just decide you have only two choices, 1) cry, or 2) decide life goes on and drive away?

Believe it or not, there's a third option most decent human beings are aware of that involves taking responsibility for your fuck-up, not acting like it didn't happen.

Been to Lorain.. most exciting thing to happen there in decades.

There is no special procedure in these matters.
You just leave a note, and then go about your business.
They will contact you whenever they return to the damaged property, you exchange insurance info, and deal with it.
Nothing else to it. No rituals. No special calls or reports. No authorities to inform. It's between you and the property owner.
And unless you have some reason to believe that they will return any moment, waiting around for them to do so is pointless. So yeah, you leave.

I believe you may be confused by my statement "his insurance will cover it".
The "he" in that statement, was the sub-contractor who's saw flew off.

Ah, so you admit there's another option than just crying: leaving a note.

I guess you didn't get the full details of the events that transpired. The prick just fetched the blade and took off.

He didn't leave a note.

The only reason the residents there knew what happened was their exterior security camera footage.

(I don't actually subscribe to your 2 options theory)

Keep in mind that my OP was in regards to your statement that he 'fetched the blade and acted like nothing happened, and that makes him an SOB'.

My point was that there isn't any other action to take.
The damage was done, nobody was injured, the owner wasn't around to speak with - so continuing with work is as good an option as any. (re. what else do you want the guy to do? Cry?)

(amusing side thought : Is there a way to put back a saw 'as if something had happened'?)

I wouldn't jump to conclusions about the guy being a bad person based on a video of seemingly unintentional damage, and a description which only has one salient point : the firm is investigating the incident.

For all we know, it could be company policy for employees to report damage to management, and have management contact property owners (hence possible delays in communication).

There simply isn't enough information here to know if there was any 'sob behavior' involved.

I like Darren. He is my friend.

I like you and him. He likes me. And I like him.

He likes you I HOOOOOPE.

When I drove over the ass end corner of a late 80s BMW in the parking lot of a shopping mall while making an improper tight turn. All I could do was leave a note and go on my way.

They ended up contacting the company.

If the guy actually thought he could get away with cutting on the road without a permit or some form of paperwork and backtrack responsibility.. that guy would be pretty stupid, most people that do that work know there is a paper trail.

hrmmmm.

** I should note I was in a 5 tonne flatbed delivery truck in a tight parking lot ( got lost -bad directions..*cough*)
