I hate theives
Monday afternoon I took off down to Houston for a business meeting tue. morning. I met with Jay at Gander Mountain in Spring to drop off the blind he bought from me and to shoot for a bit. Jay had a good time shooting with ya and it was nice to finally meet someone off of TBH.
Well I drove on down to Houston and my meeting was in downtown so I went to the Holiday Inn Express on Bell street right behind the Toyota Center. I got there late about 930PM and there were no parking spots in the front so I had to park in the back parking lot - there were 15-20 other vehicles parked in the back as well. I parked in a handicap spot right next to the entrance door directly under the light, I backed into the parking spot and my truck was clearly visible from the lobby front desk through the windows, not to mention being directly under a light. I took my bow, my camera, my laptop and clothes into my room - I figured my arrow case with all my arrows 2 dozen complete FMJ's were left in the truck as well as an unopened wedding gift - which was delivered right before I left my house that afternoon.
When I went out to my truck this morning I notice a wire hanging from my truck - when I got to it I noticed my door was not completly closed and that the lock had been punched.
My alarm never even went off - factory alarm. I open the door and everything in my truck was thrown all over the place and wires were all over the place. The got my head unit - my amp which was under the bench in the ext. cab - the wedding gift ( I have no idea what it was or who it was from) , my arrow case, and all the paper work I had in my center console ( mostly junk).
So - there I was standing in the rain in my suit looking at the interior of my truck that has been trashed. Bad start to the morning.
I have worked very hard to have the things I have - I had over 250 dollars in arrows alone and they took those - and I am sure they have a sweet ride to fling those arrows with. (heavy sarcasm)
I just don't understand why people feel it necesary to damage and take what others have worked so hard for. How can they not have any compassion or respect for anothers property?
I spoke with managers at the hotel and the said that they are not responsible for any theft or damage that occurs in the parking lot. It is a privately owned Holiday Inn so I am going to contact the parent company and see what I can do in regards to getting some compensation.
So - I do not recommend using the Holiday Inn Express on Bell Street in Downtown Houston behind the Toyota Center. Anyone have any recommendations on how to handle contacting the parent company about compensation?
