I didn't see it, but I heard it. The garbage man hit our hoop with the garbage can as he was hoisting it into his truck. A sad, sad, day for the boys. We had just put this hoop in 6 months ago. The boys, along with the entire neighborhood, play on it every.single.day. The rim was bent upward and the backboard shattered. Although I don't know exactly if our garbage cans were too far under the hoop (which we are very careful to push them out past the hoop), I didn't think that they would pay for the damages. But it was worth a shot. I filled out the necessary paperwork and sent pictures in and waited.
During our waiting period the boys were so bummed. The hoop wasn't even a little bit playable.
Surprisingly, one day, I got a phone call from an insurance agent who said that they would cover the cost of everything. A great phone call. Six hundred and fifty dollars later, we have our new hoop installed.
And life is back to normal.
Five months later and I think we finally have every piece of glass cleaned up. Glass was everywhere.
