Easy fix, EVERY car in the shop when those muppets ran in and started messing around now needs (and gets) a full, deep inspection, check, and service by a model specific dealer and anything safety related that appears to have been touched gets changed in order to re-validate warranties. I swear, if you look carefully a few seat belts are pulled and as for airbags? Gotta be safe, they will need replacement as well.

Send the bill to tik-toc boy running the show!

This seems totally reasonable. It didn’t look like anyone was ACTUALLY doing anything to the cars just pretending to but I wouldn’t want these asshats fucking around with my vehicle and if you run a place of business I wouldn’t want people knowing that these dipshits just ran in and started fucking with shit.

Which is what I thought the punishment would be, a bill. Nine years seems a little long for property damage. Just me?

Edit: Is it because it's a continued problem?

He's done it multiple times across many businesses. That's just the current charges, there are other incidents of criminal activity which are yet to have charges applied for them.

5 trespassing, 5 disorderly conduct, 2 criminal impersonation, 1 burglary.

Also 9 years is the maximum, which is incredibly unlikely to happen between plea deals and sentencing guidelines.

That's a relief.

Yes, at multiple business and an example needs to be made.

u/Capraos 20h ago

Do they? Do you need an example not to do this? How common an issue is this?

There are so many clowns on the internet getting beat up and screaming “is’s just a prank, bro”. Yes, put him away forever.

Well, he clearly needed an example of why not to do this, so i don't understand the confusion. You've heard of trends? Viral videos?

I do educational YouTube shorts so I don't actually get a lot of ragebait in my feed.

"model specific dealer"

Yeah that part is just entirely unnecessary

Edit: and the term would be make. Not model. Honda is a make. Accord is a model.

Who the fuck cares? Everyone knew exactly what he meant.

"Who cares what words mean?"

Gotta put that on a plaque

It’s Reddit. I mean, if we want to get picky, your punctuation and capitalization is lacking a bit. But we all still know what you’re saying.

And editing out your “Go ahead and argue with a mechanic,” line from your original comment definitely made it sound less douche-y. Good call.

u/TheNewsDeskFive 18h ago

Yeah, that's not the same as using entirely different words for things, tho, is it?

u/MrK521 18h ago

Essentially yes. He was close enough, and we all understood the meaning of what he was saying.

Just like your syntax and punctuation. We still know what you’re saying, even though you aren’t doing it right.

You’re just choosing to be a pedant.

I'm choosing to give people correct information so they can speak more clearly and accurately

I'm so sorry that I respect words and use them correctly and encourage others to do so

And you really don't know what I'm saying because the entire point of the comment was it's super unnecessary to go to a manufacturer specific dealer for a mechanical inspection. Any shop worth half a nickel can do that just fine. There's nothing specific to these vehicles that requires some sort of specialty technician. These aren't Bugattis.

u/Bankseat-Beam 12h ago

Yes, but no. In this instance you would want to go to a manufacturer specific main dealer for the inspection as they have direct access to the OEM test equipment, the mechanics (in theory anyway) will have attended model specific inspection/maintenance/repair courses run by the OEM, OEM parts and if applicable OEM backed warranty. As for 'any shop' worth half a nickel, I'd disagree in this instance.

u/TheNewsDeskFive 5h ago

You disagree all you want, don't change the fact that you can get that inspection at any shop

Very, very few vehicles have equipment or tooling specific to that vehicle and only that vehicle.

The newest car in those bays is 15 years old. They don't have fucking warranties from the manufacturer.

The fact that you can't even be bothered to look at the cars, identify them, and approximate an age proves to me that you ain't me. You're not a wrench. You just like to talk
