So, a bit of context my roommate was trying to go to class and was running late when they hit the neighbor’s mailbox… they were so worried that they drove off (bad idea I know) and called me to see if I can de-escalate the situation. The neighbor called the police and when I got back the neighbor was so upset. I’m freaking out because this person had tattoos all over they’re body and facial piercings (could they be a gang member)… My friend came back and spoke with the police, and got the information for the insurance company. Now, the neighbor won’t be outside while either one of us is out and they cracked their curtains (they never done this before) and Look at the home… freaks me out – haven’t been able to sleep well. 🙃 how does my roommate apologize, beside verbally – which they did. Eh, it’s bad I know but they were so freaked out and didn’t want to be in trouble – poor jugdement I know. I just don’t feel safe now in my own home. What’s the likelihood of them being a member and doing something crazy to the cars, property or us?

Since when do gangsters call the cops?
You’ll be fine. If they were going to retaliate, why would they have called the cops in the first place? Also, lots of people have tattoos and piercings for fashion and self expression. Not just gang members have tattoos.
I’m sure they’re watching you now as your roommate has shown they didn’t do the right thing by staying and speaking to the neighbor/calling the police right after it happened. Think about it, if no one saw your roommate hit the mailbox and then denied hitting it, your neighbor would likely be on the hook for replacing their mailbox.
If you want to apologize, get them a little gift like a fancy box of chocolates or something, take it to them and apologize. Your roommate should explain what they did, why they know it was wrong to do and apologize sincerely.
Buy some some food and drinks and put in his door with a apology letter. Not too fancy but something to say sorry.
A bottle of sake and apology letter to start with ?
If they are gangsters, then offering them any of your fingers should be enough to calm them down.
I know a person who has tattoos all over and she is scary as fuck.
It’s my mum.
Who is they that hit the mailbox?
Are you trying to convince us you scared gang members by bumping their mailbox?
I would give them gift/snack/bottle with a hand-written or machine translated letter explaining you guys are sorry and that you’ll pay for the damages, as soon as possible
If you let it go on for too long without saying something it will be worse
But don’t worry about the tattoo things and piercings. They could just be a boring person or bad hair stylist overcompensating
I would start by not calling them “a Japanese”.
