In the video, Ang pans the camera to a man in a green shirt and shorts, walking along a pavement, saying that he was \u201ctailing him everywhere he goes\u201d.<\/p>\n
While walking, he says that the man had put illegal tints on the car, removed the dashboard camera, and gotten into an accident.<\/p>\n
Ang proceeds to call the police while walking, filming the man and saying he had \u201cno responsibility at all\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy so difficult? You got into an accident, you pay the excess,\u201d he says to athe man\u2019s back. \u201cI\u2019m talking to you, bro. You think you can just run away from responsibility?\u201d<\/p>\n
Later, Ang runs after the man as the latter breaks into a sprint barefoot, while holding his slippers in one hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did not manage to catch him as he decided to go all jungle warfare and ran into the bushes at the back of the building,\u201d Ang told Stomp.<\/p>\n
Car rental manager urges customer to contact company<\/h2>\n
The video cuts to a clip of Ang back at the workshop, zooming in to the car fender which has a visible dent. A brown stain marrs the side of the car, and its side view mirror is shattered and taped back onto the vehicle.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not worth your time, not worth my time. I spent the whole bl**dy morning all the way with you. We spent a good five hours together. Just because you were pondering your life,\u201d Ang says, urging the customer to contact the company.<\/p>\n
He adds that they were \u201cnot even asking (him) to pay it now\u201d, but were merely requesting that he make payment of the first installment by the following month.<\/p>\n
Company open to negotiation<\/h2>\n
Despite the 45-minute chase, Ang said the company was \u201copen for negotiation\u201d.<\/p>\n
He also explained that the customer was charged $2,500 as an excess fee \u2014 the amount a renter is liable to pay when a rental car is damaged \u2014 as stated in the company\u2019s terms and conditions.<\/p>\n
Another $2,500 was added to cover the cost of damage to the vehicle and the fact that it could not be used for a week while insurance claims were processed.<\/p>\n
Ang added that the car, a BMW luxury hatchback, is typically rented at $100 a day.<\/p>\n
As the driver was between 23 and 26 years old, he was initially required to pay an additional $1,500, but Ang waived the fee.<\/p>\n

Some netizens commented that the $5,000 bill was \u201cexpensive\u201d, while another suggested the amount was \u201cconsidered average for a rental company\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cRespect you bro for even trying to help him with an installment plan. Some rental companies would have taken advantage of the situation,\u201d another netizen chimed in.<\/p>\n
