I went out today to check on 8 of my cars I have out at a storage yard, and found two of them had missing parts! My 69 XR7, and one of my 65 Tbirds had parts taken from each car. I went over to the office and the owner was on vacation over at the coast. His employee gave him a call, and I got to talk to him about it. He said that it was impossible for anyone to steal from the cars, since he monitors the yard on a regular basis. Today he made mention about the original radio in the XR7 and my concerns of theft when I first brought the car in. I told him that was one of the items stolen! All in all replacement cost for the parts taken will be about $400 to $500 dollars. /forums/images/icons/mad.gif
The owner is a super nice guy, and I have enjoyed dealing with him for the last couple of years, and I really don't want to burn any bridges with him. We agreed that we would talk some more about it next week when he gets back into town. Should I ask for compensation for the stolen items, or should I show my concern on the security of my vehicles there, and take the loss if he doesn't offer to anti-up?
