1999 Ford E-250
To make it short.. truck breaks down, go to dealer.
Have 5 yr 100,000 mile warranty.

Over $2500 worth of repairs.

Now warranty company says warranty not good on commercial vehicles. Gee, nothing was said when I bought it, wearing work clothes, titling it under a business, etc.....

We'll see about this.........

Then,

Go down to my shop, find alarm guy (ADT), who was working upstairs at the new DVD store (how did he get in my shop????)
( he opened a drilled shut hatch), rooting thru my office stuff!

Caught him red handed. Scared the _ _ _ _ out of him when I opened the front door & walked in.

There was a Nextel phone box which for the last 4 months was sitting on the floor under my printer, now ON the seat of my desk chair, opened, with the papers all over the seat, and in the plastic tray, there WAS the Nextel pen knife/light. Not there now..

After the "WTF are you doing in here, & WHO the hell are you, exchange, he says he was looking for a phone line...

Yea right....

I say whats the Nextel box that's been on the floor since June doing on the chair?

He goes "I don;t know".. I say BULL, where's the pen knife you took out of the box. He said he doesn't know..

Called the cops....
Called the real estate office.
Called ADT....

Even though he had UNauthorized access to my office, and thats tresspassing or burglary, what the HELL is he doing putting his hands on MY stuff...

Well friends.... He'll get his pink slip from ADT,I'll see to that, and the dealer who I bought the truck from (Chapman), is gonna pay for this repair, or the warranty company EasyCare will.

So, stay out of my way... I'm mad as hell! :mad:
Cross my path, and I'll run right over you!!!:mad:

To me 100,000 miles are the same if it is commercial or not. A mile is a mile the truck cant tell. The parts that broke cant tell. warranty and INS they love to take your money and all ways try to find ways not to pay out. Good luck like to hear how it comes out.

Holy SH.... I had just sent you an e-mail. I gotta tell you that the e-mail was sent BEFORE I read this.

That is an incredibel story about the ADT guy. Man I would have loved to have been with you when you (or we) walked in on him.

Anyway, hope to see you soon! Check that e-mail!

WOW!!!
Talk about a BAD DAY :(
I'm surprised that you didn't bounce him off the wall a couple of dozen times.
I don't know what I would do if I walked in on someone in my place rummaging through my stuff.
YEA I do. Bounce him around and tell the police how he kept tripping and falling as he tried to run away :rolleyes: :D
HOPE YOU HAVE A BETTER DAY TODAY!!!!!!

WOW El, this is big stuff!

I think I would have called the cops first and asked questions later.

You have every right to be angry as h*** over both of these events.

Have a big drink and call your lawyer in the morning.

Hi Edgar...

I am calm on the outside, but still fuming on the inside...

Ellis - You should have called me at home. Beside my two swords that you could have used in your back yard, I just bought a 1861 Springfield musket that is over 6 feet long with the bayonet on it. I could have held him at bay lying on the floor while you called the police.
Or I could have loaded the musket with just the black powder and fired it in the air as I kicked open your door screaming like a maniac with my scream mask on. I bet he won't go through anybody's stuff again if I did that.

Good luck with everything.

I hear ya Ed...

The problem I have is that this guy was:

#1 tresspassing... as soon as he saw he was in another tenent's office, NOT the DVD's, he should have left,

but more importantly,

#2, these guys are supposed to be bonded & trustworthy.
These are guys who come into our homes etc.

This guy thought he could get away with something when he assumed no one was looking. He put his hands on someone's stuff.

THAT I have a major issue with.

El, sounds like you're on a "roll" good buddy. ;yn And everybody knows that s**t rolls downhill... But look at it this way. That ADT guy could have bopped you on the head when you caught him in your office. You could have gotten hurt or worse. Plus, those guys are supposed to be bonded so if anything is missing, you have the right to recovery. Or worse yet, you could have shot his sorry arse and you'd be in the slammer right now. ;www That would suck. And as far as those warranty crooks, you should be able to clobber those yokels too.

Give Donna & the kids & hug! Now it's time to kick ass! ;bt

El:
Take a chill pill & call a lawyer! None of it will have a good ending if you wind up totally stressed out or worse & in the hospital. Take a deep breath & count to ten (million).

Richy:
The other side of my brain was telling me to get the name & address of the guy & the dealer & I'd let loose my black belts on them. We could take them apart - brick by brick.
But then reality set in! I guess I'm still a flower power child at heart.

Swords, muskets, bayonets, Kung Fu...

Doesn't anyone just shoot trespassers anymore? And you call yourselves city folk?

Catch him, coat him with some steak juice and stick a couple of bisquits to him. I'll send Yen over to visit :D

Would that really work? I thought Yen was just a big pussy-cat.
