My work's internet filter won't let me access the source document.  After reading the text graciously posted by /u/BootyOrbiter, maybe the woman was looking for compensation for bike damage?  I currently own a $200 box store mountain bike but the road bike I'm saving up for will cost nearly $1,000.  I'd be wanting compensation if a driver hit me.  I don't think I'd go to the extreme this fat piece of shit did, though.  Simply calling 911 and hopefully getting the driver's vehicle description and plate would be enough.
