Ask the driver to provide documentation that his repairs will cost two thousand dollars. If he insisnts that he wants the money without providing any documentation, remind him that it may not be a felony for a thirteen year old to throw a rock, but it is for an adult to extort money from a thirteen year old. Also remind him that his failure to report this to his insurance, may cause him to lose his coverage, and maybe his job. If he can verify the amount of damages, perhaps you should pay it.

Good luck.
