Just had to chase a guy away who without asking was out on our lot opening all of the doors, decklids, and sitting in our customers' 914s! Our dear accountant witnessed the abuse from her office perspective and reported it to us. Pretty bad when someone has no respect for other peoples' property! We deeply respect our customers' cars and take good care of them while they are here for service and restoration, and do not tolerate those who come on the lot and disrespect them. Guy started to say how he owned a 914 years ago etc etc etc, but I did not want to hear it!

"Please leave the premises or I will call the police"

That would be my response

Sad, but I'm sure you know dealing with the public anything goes. Sad

It takes all kinds of people George. Who takes what, I'm not quite sure. Emotionally compromised people are everywhere. I should know.

Call the sheriff if you need some help. Tell them it's an emergency.
