Out in Los Angeles, a man named Andres Carrasco, apparently an upright clean-living citizen, retired bus driver, used to have his car insurance through Adriana's Insurance, but one day he went to their office to find out why they had dropped him.
An employee of Adriana's Insurance attempted to explain the situation to Mr Carrasco by bodily throwing him out of the office.
So Mr Carrasco went to the courts to sue the insurance company, and he won a settlement of $12,000.
So the good people over at Adriana's decided that the best way to shell out that kind of change would be to send over that kind of change.
Eight paint buckets full of American coins were delivered to Mr Carrasco by eight goons working for the Adriana firm.
His attorney, Anthony Gallo, said he can't even lift the buckets and he doesn't feel that Mr Carrasco, recently recovering from hernia surgery, should even try.
"I am disappointed by the way Adriana's treats their customers and the elderly," Carrasco told KNBC-TV. "We might be poor, but we are people too."
Even if he were not poor and elderly, and I wish he weren't either one of them, Mr Carrasco has a right not be assaulted by insurance agents. It doesn't sound like Adriana's is a firm with which I would do business. My car insurance company has a cute little gecko and Little Richard doing their commercials; Adriana's just doesn't seem to care how many people hear about their nastiness. It cannot be good for their business to treat the gentleman this way.The one bright note in all this is that Mr Carrasco now has 8 paint buckets! You can never have too many of them around the house.
