Holy Marine (Brisbane) No care taken...no responsibility accepted.

Hi oldsquizzy. Sounds like you have been looking after your customers ( all credit to you) and I suppose thats my point. Holt Marine didn't secure my vehicle properly (outside the shed visible from the road) and the keys were easily found in their office. My point is more that they don't have the basic courtesy to reply to me in any way, just ignore me and hope I go away.

Looking forward to visiting Kununurra again and going up to Kalumbroo!

Thanks Trevor. I dont have an up to date photo as, guess what! the camera was in the 4x4! The photo attached is as we bought it without the roofrack. Rego is 755KRC

Thanks for the offer!

If I go to the above site, all I get is log on details.
unable to see pics.
Is there a way around?

Hi Heefers. My insurance just covered the vehicle. (and $4000 less than it should have been). We were just about to update all the accessories on the policy before we went to Fraser as this was the last modification! My fault in that respect but who would have guessed?

Hi Pepper 2 Firstly my primary reason for posting this is to provide the users of this forum with a warning to avoid the issues I now face. Secondly I am not 'denigrating' anyone and my 'allegations' as you call them are fact and recorded by Holt Marine in their police report. I am conscious forums are sometimes used to maliciously maline a innocent party, if you feel that I have it was not my intention.

This forum has been exceptionally helpful to me in preparing for my 3 year trip. I also want to share.

Cheers

David

G'day Pepper

I dont see anything wrong with this post, all he is doing is stating fact, not fiction....anyway if you think its wrong why not just hit the alert moderator button and see what they think...

I thank David for bringing a potential grey area to our attention. Whilst this may have been going on for some time his situation brings some very valid points.

1. His vehicle he has spent some time preparing is now history.

2. The business appears to have broken off contact. Whilst this may be a legal advise it is poor people skills and as he says RUDE. They could at least acknowledge his queries even if they have nothing further to say.

3. You and others have mentioned insurance for accessories but I find it hard to accept it is possible to insure for accessories being fitted. Surely an insurance company would expect you to have the fitment completed before covering your insured extras.

4. As a retailer I am expected to cover any damage done by anyone to anything inside my shop. How is that different to David's situation? His insurance should cover all goods within and include all equipment in it's care whether owned by them or not. If they cannot afford to cover a Roll's Royce that is stolen whilst in their care for example, then do not accept a job that involves them.

5. If we all work by the law of the land only, we would not be out there helping others less fortunate than ourselves. We do it because we are compassionate and that is also the way we run our business even if it means we trade a loss for certain jobs.

Why do we hate lawyers, because they only see the law and not morals or compassion.
If the incident David had happened to me I would be cranky too and letting everyone know about it. It's just not right.
