Advice needed? |
my boyfriends motorbike was stolen from the garage he took it to for repairs, they told him 24hrs after it was stolen and at first the owner was really apologatic and said he could choose between a replacement or cash to the value of the bike anyway he told him to come bk in the next day to discuss what he wanted to do, wen my b/f went bk there were 2 guys there who said they had changed thier minds incase the bike turned up as they would be out of pocket but surely it does`t matter to them as the insurance would cover it... should i go down and speak to them or go straight to a solicitor Neither. It's his bike, and he should go file a police report about a stolen bike and let the police handle any details. If he has full coverage insurance on the bike, the insurance may cover his loss. In any case, even without full coverage, contact the insurance and let them know. I don't know what it's like there, but I have what is called "garage keepers" insurance on my business which would cover loss, less my deductible amount. Of course I also have locked gates, video, 6 foot chain link, and 3 strands of barbed wire on the top, and a couple of very noisy little dogs on patrol. Sounds like in your case the garage owner knew they had done something wrong, but then re-thought everything later. Perhaps if the police contact them and start asking questions, they will re-think it once again and pay. Smells a bit fishy. I'd get legal advice ASAP. Most good legal practices will give you a free 1/2 hour to understand the situation. Has your boyfriend involved the police? I would get legal advice as well. report it to the police now and get some legal advice, dont go down it may be dangerous. it soujnds like they dont have insurance. the worst comes to the worst your bf's insurance should cover it as well as long as its tpft or fully comp contact his insurance and the police he will need a police report to claim of his/or there insurance.do not contact the garage let the police do that Go to a lawyer before you speak to them. Something about this isnt right. You need to know where you stand leagally before you confront them. report it to the police first, then get legal advice. make notes of visit to the owener,what was said. dates, times, any witness's. good luck. and DONT give up. |
