So someone keyed my car. Long story short, I called the police, I knew who it was, they admitted to it, he was charged AND I took him to court and sued him for $541 (cost of repainting one door). He had until last month to pay me, of course I never hear anything from him. So I called the state attorney and they said that they put a warrant out for his arrest but there is nothing they can do about it.

Any ideas how I can get my money?

Can you have the courts garnish his wages?

No. Aparently not.

And I dont know this guy, or where he lives, but if I ever see him again the baseball bat will definitely come in handy.

Earlier in the 1st post you stated that you knew who did it, and now you say you don't know the guy. I'd love to hear the story behind the keying....

Sucks about your ride...
