Sunglasses stolen during car service TOYOTA

Good morning folks,

I want to share my experience at TOYOTA body shop Industrial area street # 5.
My car rear bumper was replced yesterday.I was extremely happy by the service provided & the rofessional working style there.

When i got my car back after washing & was out of workshop towards home at 730 pm, my happiness vanished when i realized my Rayban polarized sunglasses was stolen.
Infact i ignored clear instructions of removing valuables before submitting the car for service.

Just want share to on this forum that all people in Qatar are not honest , do protect yourself & your stuff.
Although i always try to be courteous with washing boys & waiters but these guys perhaps not making enough despite getting tips etc.............

I had also similar experience and lost my sun glasses. It was almost 3 years back. I complained to the management but no use.

Moral of Story : Take the cautionary notice in Service Centre.

I learned the lesson hard way too, lost an ipod mini.

cool dwn guys, first of all i admit my mistake i left my glasses in car beside warning of registeration clerk. & I am 100 % sure it was in my car before & checked thoroughly later only sunglasses missing. My USB, squash badminton racket , cricket bat etc all there.

& sorry guys for misunderstanding what i wrote .....what i mean was ALL PEOPLE IN QATAR ARE NOT HONEST , mean there are few only few black sheeps in Qatar beware of them.

I LOVE QATAR & ALL PEOPLE HERE, I RESPECT ALL REGARDLESS OF RACE RELIOGION & NATIONALITY.

good thing you got your car fixed already but sad to hear about stolen item.. try to check maybe there's other more that's missing and try to go back to the service center you gotten into and talk to the management.

they may have mentioned at the agreement to take your valuables with you but surely they are going to do something with your issue.

they might not do anything with it but at least they can put to their "corrective & preventive action(if they have filling system)" that there are incidents like this that had happened during operation.

"all people in Qatar are not honest" - big OUCH for this line, meaning you included me also. and HONESTLY you included yourself also.

Dear Maqsood

Thanks for your Warning about the service centres. However your blamming to All people are not honest here in Qatar is not acceptable. Please check yourself ? Are you perfect in all the ways?. Are yu going duty everyday on right time and exiting in right time? Are you taking anything including paper, pen from office?... This is all part of steeling. So think yourself.

Ofcourse in this case you also made the mistake by kept the valuable things inside the car. If you want to live in place without any steeling, migrate to Finland , norway etc... the world honest places. Best of luck..

when it was in the dealership for service. They do warn you not to leave valuables in the car--for good reason apparently. Too bad for the thieves as my I-pod was Broken and completely worthless! Karma

dear,

i. before pointing finger on others,were u really sure that the raybay was in the car. some cases, you were moved it out without you realised it (maybe).

ii. you should have cleared the precious items before handover the car.

iii. how you can write something like "all people in Qatar are not honest". have u uver met me?

iv. i experienced it same thing, except my car was kia. i thought my sunglasses by chance also rayband polarised stolen as it was moved from original place, later i found out that the employee moved it to another compartment. maybe and maybe you r-b-p still in your car?

maqsood just a simple advice...

Look carefully at the fingers of ur hands and judge if all the fingers are of same size ?

i hope you understood wat i meant to say ?

Brother my sunglasses approx 2 years old. Price & cost matters but REAL THING IS ATTITUDE. IF YOU ARE HONEST ,SHOULD EXPECT IT FROM ALL

By Molten Metal• 30 May 2013 06:55
