The Little Business That Almost Was ...
The Story
Over the last several years our company tried to do something simple ... provide low cost transportation to the local community. In the end ... it did turn out that way at all. The back story will shock you, but, it must be told. Why? For several reasons: (1) this helps others understand that there is no money in this business venture so that they do not continue to try to presume that there is, (2) this ventures inability to succeed has nothing to do with capability and everything to do with corruption, extortion, and racketeering.
Will Rent This Ride Still Rent Cars?
Not at this time. We are no longer renting vehicles. That amount of drama and mischief surrounding many of our past rentals has made it clear that some group or groups has decided to become interested in making sure that the business does not succeed. Until law enforcement is convinced that this is a problem, we will not rent cars. As of right now, they are not doing hardly enough to deal with the issue.
Who is Behind All the Mayhem?
It's always easy to find who is behind something that is being done on a criminal level ... if you can find the "smoking gun." For all of the misfortune that the vehicles intended for business revenue have met, it all boils down to one question: Who trashed the 2002 White VW Beetle?
If this question can be answered, then the culprit would be identified and the attacks would stop. Hopefully one day we will get to the bottom of it. Until then ... enjoy the read!
The 2002 White VW Beetle ... The Smoking Gun
The 2002 White VW Beetle
They say ... go look for the smoking gun when you are trying to figure out the root of a crime. In our case, the "smoking gun" is the damage done to the 2002 White VW Beetle.
Damaged ... Then ... Damaged Again
This car was stolen once, recovered, then ... vandalized. It seems someone or some group has been dedicated to tracking this vehicle as well as others and making sure that they are never offered for rent to customers. After the car was first stolen, it was recovered. Then ... after sitting for months ... our company managed to come up with the money to repair the damage from the theft. But literally days before the car was to be towed to the repair shop, someone vandalized it, causing damage to it a second time.
Does Any One Care?
This 2002 White VW Beetle had been 100% restored by a local mechanic. It was repaired, all issues resolved, and a professionally rebuilt engine had been placed in it, complete with a one-year warranty. It is a shame that someone has been stalking and destroying all the cars that were intended for affordable rentals in the Gaithersburg, MD, community.
Wil Anyone Investigate?
We have filed several police reports. However, no one is investigating. No one seems to care that all of the rental cars have been targeted. So a good business has as a result been sidelined.
Does This Look Suspicious?
In this video it clearly shows that someone vandalized the car. Who was it?
