He shouldn’t have done that..
The owner will get the complete amount refunded/a brand new car as it must be completely insured.
And this guy will have to bear the case life long and the chances of him getting back his money in near future also is burnt!

Ive seen this trend across many people with power, politicians, cops they dont pay up after the work is done. Its such a shame these workers have to go around multiple times to get the money they earned.
But there were better ways to handle this.

While some people badmouthed the owner of the car for exploiting the poor worker and not paying his dues, others felt bad for the loss and criticized the worker for taking the law into his hands.
