FUCK! YOU!, i had to get that out, sry

Well this weekendi went to Florida to see my mother and my sister and 1/2 brother. We went to Disney World, and had a damn good time.

We flew back to Allentown Airport and it was snowing, sleeting and everything else.

Well, on friday morning at 5:30am i droped my car off at Thompson Toyota to have my lift bolts replaced, my headlights lowered, and my oil changed.and this plastic piece uunderneath my car, re attached.

They wanted 25$ for clips to re attache this plasic piece, so i said F*&^ you, don't do it, i'll do it myself with safty ties.

They wouldn't re adjust my headlights because the guy said that since i have aftermarket HIDS he would have to DISASSEMBLE my whole headlight setup and re-wire it, to just adjust the height of the bulb, and that i would have to pay for it. I argued back and forth , telling them that all it is, is a freakin' knob that you rotate and there is no reason to even touch the headlight physically, but NOOO they wouldn't hear that, those POS. ..

And finally i wanted my lift bolts replaced and they said that my car is performing under spec's and that they don't need to replace them, but they open the engine block to see them physically. I told them that if its cracked and winds up breaking that they are going to replace my whole engine. bla, my Lift bolts work i just wanted them replace'd. . im at 40k with my orginal bolts.

OK, sry the the long explaination but that is how gay this dealer ship was in the first place.

So we get off the place, and come home on Sunday night and we get to the dealership at 6:36PM. I have my valet key because they locked my keys in my car so i could get them when i got home. So i walk over to my car door and BLAM!!!!!

my whole driver side window is smashed in. glass everywhere, O YA, its SNOWING/RAINING!, all in my car. my center colsole, broken apart and my TV! GONE!. my back seats are folded down. . my 1 JL 500/1 .. GONE!, for some reason they didn't steal my 300/4... but anyways. . .i look towards my trunk. . yep. . they stole my 10 W7!. . MOTHERFU&@(*#$&$*&@^$*&@^$*&@^.

ALL GONE
ALL OF IT.
4000$ in equipt.

So i called the cops, they came, finger printed my car, yada yada, well my keys are no where to be found. they were supposed to be under my door mat, but they aren't there. the bill for the service is there, but no keys.

Apparenlty the cops said they think they know who it is, but yada yada, they don't know at the same time they have to try to catch them at the right time.

And now im on my way to the dearlship to pick up a rental car cause of all this shit.

Im furious, if i dont get 100% comp'd. im gonna be , i dont even know.

This is the 5th time its happend at this dealership. The 5TH! TIME. ya, don't you think after the 2nd time they would put a GATE OUT FRONT!! BUT NOOOOOO!!! of course not.

O ya, i forgot to mention, why the F&*% did they park my car, with what i have it in, in the back of the lop behind the valet booth, so no one can soo it. . . explain that to me! huh!.. . ahhhh. .well thats all i got, i let you guys know how i make out. its all fu*&*( up...

something at this dealership smells fishy. . .

if I take my car to the dealer, I remove EVERY aftermarket part from the car.

My dealership stole the TRD exhaust that was on my car, and said "oh no, it was stock"

like I wouldn't know. since it was on the car when I bought it, I can't prove it.

I hope you get it all fixed/comped, that sucks ass! thumbsdown

ok, and the update. .

well apparently, which i was pretty sure of before, the dealership is not respnabile for any cars on their lot, as long as they keep it well lit, yad yada. .. well

i contacted my insureance company, and told them everything, they told me that i have a 500$ duct, and up to 1,000$, so right away with the repairs on my car. . from the window, its pretty high, but my TV alone was 2,000$.

So the insurance company told me that im probably going to have to goto small claims court to get my money, which im sure i will and im going to win at that.

i dont see why this dealership can't put cameras up, if this has happened 5 times. then they need to do somthing a little better, don't you think?!?!.

so i talked to the manager and told him also that he should reimburse me for my deduct.

but now im going to go call the cops and get ahold of them and let them know about serial #'s and all. .. o ya and i did keep all my recipts smile. .

POS!

Some people just have no respect for other people's shit. It's a shame. People like that don't realize how much people work to get where they are and what they have. All they care about is the $$$ they can get after selling your shit for crack money.

dude that sux. how come they arent responsible for the cars that are on their lot? wtf is that all about! didnt they park the car there? didnt they work on it? isnt it a toyota?
i work at a auto shop/gas station and if anything happens to anyones car during night(like stealing anything), our insurance pays for the damages completely. We are even scared of ppl parking on our lot bcz if something happens to their car we are(and the insurance we got) is responsible for it. We dont let ppl to perform mechanics on our land (like changing parts) bcz we dont have any authority to work on sundays and the guy working there could cause us trouble (for some reason). Bigass Toyota dealer cant afford putting some cameras and secure their dealerships?
sometimes i wish cars had stuffs like James Bond cars have like the BMW used in Tomorrow Never Dies where the guys cant into the car. Or else put a camera in the car or around it! best of luck with the problems solution!

Thompson Toyota, doesn't want to to take any responsibilty. i dont remember what i said before, but anyways.

this whole day i cant stop thinkin' about my car, this is just out of hand. i have the worst headache ever right now, and its 12:17am.

im gettin a lawyer and im think that im going to sue the dealership, because as a customer , i dont feel that i should.
1. be paying for damages to the car
2. my rental car
3. my equipment.

i have contacted a few lawyers but im waiting to hear back from them.

My girlfriends mother has recently bought a highlander from Thompson, and after haering my story she is now ready to boycott thompson. she said she is even going to call and make a complaint, and say that she will never bring her car there.

i see this all going to a small claims court but im still not sure. why do ppl do what they do. . . god damnit, some need to just get a freakin' life.

i work for my shit, so get a freakin' job. you POS.

=======
i left work tonight to drop of my rental car, my corolla ( 45$/day) because its way to much money, so im going to enterprise to get a 15$/day car. i cant afford this bull. i should be paying for it in the first place.

ill keep you guys posted, those who want to know, plus i just need a place to vent. . . all this inside and i just need somewhere to let it off.

i've talked to so many adult(s) at my work today, and they are completely dumbfounded at what happened, and at the way thompson is handling it.

i mean thompson has insurance and this is one reason why they have it. if they aren't responsible for the cars on their lot, then why have insurance?!!?!?.. beats me. . POS MF!

this is the fist time that i've heard about it, like when it happend to my car the other night it was the first time that i had heard about any car being broken into at thompson. . .turns out i was the 5th. .. .

the cops can't just go on assumption that its this kid. they need proof. . . .. . . if i could only give them some. . .
