Default boat storage bussines practice

Hi I always hate this kind of thing but mindless ignorance by
bussiness people?
You'd think the customer was the first concern , not his almighty
buck...


I've put my boat into storage for the winter at a place I've used for
3 years with good results. but

This year they had me sign a policy statement that they were allowed
to move peoples stuff around without consent. Also , the usual thing
about damage -- its not their responsiblity.

I put my boat up for the winter about 10 days ago. I placed the boat
tongue on a concret block with a wooden piece of 2*4 under it. The guy
at the place told me that the "wind" could affect my boat unless I put
it close to the other ones.

I went back on Saturday and found my boat , pushed off to one side
about 4 feet-- the tounge on the ground the tarp ripped and one of the
chocks about 3 feet( the left wheel ) below from were I left it. All I
can determine is that the guy used his pickup truck to knock my boat
over about 1-2 feet. In the process he knocked my boat off the
concrete block onto the ground. I guess customers are treated like
sh#t cause I signed the policy.

Can such storage yards justify owner vanadalism with their discalmer
policy?

What really gets me is that this guy is moving my boat 2 feet to make
space, yet he has a 65 year old rust bucket truck and about 34 feet of
rusty pipe next to it taking up about 6 car or boat lengths that he
could easily rent out and make money by sending his "junk" to the
crusher..

What is your opinion ?

I know I won't be going back -- very poor busines practice - knock
your customers items around with your big powerful gas guzzling
pickup.

this guy is an accident waiting to happen and in my view very bad for
business.

IMHO- take him to court. His new "contract" probably won't stand up against
his obvious abuse of your property. Take lots of pictures.

Surely their disclaimer can't cover negligence, they have a duty to take
care.
