Business Card inside my car door - damages/repairs owed? RANT

[gnihcraes]

So I approached my car tonight in the RTD parking garage. It had a business card mostly inside the drivers door window weather seal. I tried to get it and it just dropped completely inside the car door. It wouldn't have stayed until I got home to retrieve it with anything else; pliers or whatever.


So I grabbed another card from another vehicle in the same area. It's some Automotive Repair Shop.

I don't know what or if any issues will result from the business card being in my door.

It might fall to the bottom and absorb water and rot/rust the door from the inside out.
It might get jammed up inside a window track or power window motor.
It might cause issues with the power door locks.
It could cause no harm at all. Very unknown.

I've contacted the business vial email to see what they plan to do about it. I've googled the business and based on reviews, I do not want them touching my vehicle. I don't feel it's necessary for me to tear my car apart to resolve the issue they caused. I'm capable, but don't feel I should have to fuck with it.

I told them in the email that I'd like the repairs (card removal) done at a authorized honda dealer at their expense. Then it can be documented too.

I also filed an online police report for vehicle damages/vandalism. Seems petty, but if this did end up being a big deal, I want a police report for the damages.

2nd time I've had this happen, some flyer or card falls down inside the door. (different vehicle last time)

I'm normally not this petty of a person, but it pissed me off this time.

we'll see what happens.

not much of a /rant. Just kinda pisses me off when people stick stuff all over your car. I've also had this happen where they stick items in the door handle and you can't get it to function unless you remove the "flyer" or business card. Always fun if you have your hands a bit full carrying groceries or whatever. Set the shit down, grab the garbage out of the handle and continue on.

It also annoys the fuck out of me that they stick this stuff to the cars in handicap zones. (which mine was) Some guy in a chair or whatever wouldn't be able to reach the windshield/wipers to remove these types of items and it just flops around on the windshield for miles obstructing/distracting the view.

Agreed Hbar The side window and back glass on my topper had the grime cleaned from a small section so someone could peer in two nights ago. Luckly I had pulled my tools out that night. Fuckers

Post the info from the card. I'm sure lots of us on the site would like a reputable shop to frequently call for advice and with questions about proper tire pressure, recommendations on windshield wiper fluid, etc.

I hear claims it won't fog your lenses over time like the conventional stuff does.

I agree with Hbar in regards to not touching other people's property, that goes for business cards, flyers, in passing, with shopping cart, etc. That being said, I don't stroke out if someone puts a flyer or business card on my car, and feel it's a bit ridiculous filing a police report over it.

This. I was going to post something much more sarcastic, don't you have anything more serious to worry about?
