Thank you for the prayers! Here is what has happened since I updated: They were supposed to meet my dh at 1, it is now nearly 5 and they are not there. We have 2 law enforcment officers, a news station, and 6 friends waiting. The Owner has called my dh several times and yelled at him for trying to scam them and play games with them. My dh has no idea what they are talking about. They refuse to talk to the police and hang up everytime an officer gets on the phone. I finally located the driver and he said that he would be there shortly....that was 30 minutes ago. They just called my dh and told him that they gave him the wrong location....we knew that they gave us the wrong location because we found our stuff a month ago. So, Everyone including news and police are headed over to the "new" location. I am waiting to hear an update.....
The driver finally showed up a little after 6pm right after the police left. We think they were watching and knew when they left. Plus the driver who doesn't speak english told our translator (good friend of ours) that they didn't want to show up while the police were there because they didn't want to get arrested because they aren't legal...hmmm... We told them the officer was there to mediate only since he was out of his juristiction but they didn't seem to understand. Then we found out that the driver doesn't have a gate code or keys to the units...the PUBLIC STORAGE manager had them they whole time!!!!! So now we find out that the manager and her district manager are BOTH in on the scam. They said that since the Public Storage office was closed once they got there they couldn't do anything and that they would come back tomorrow morning at 9am!!!! Angry and mad do not even begin to describe my feelings. There was a news crew there all day today and they are showing up at 9am again. The investigative reporter was so apalled at the way the moving company was treating us that he said he is bringing a huge crew tomorrow. So if you are in the Seattle area watch KIRO 7 tomorrow night because we will be on it, otherwise after it airs I will post the link to the video and story so you all can view it. I am tired and I need to get to bed. My ds has his first field trip tomorrow since he started at the charter school and I know he will be up bright and early dragging me out of bed.
Wow. After this is all over and done, I'm sure you will find blessings in all this somewhere. I'm glad you and your Dh have enough determination to stick with this until justice is served for you and everyone else they have scammed. Kuddos to you both. I'll be looking for a link later....we love a good crime drama!
Hmmm.... How about setting it up again, with the police. Then the police leave, and have someone else watching. As soon as the moving van shows up, the police are called and return. As far as the storage company being in on the scam, why are you suprised? I thought you figured that out when they called and warned the moving company when the police was coming!
I think all involved should by arrested... the nerve of them... they think they can still play these games and get away with it...crazyness!
Ok here it is! This is the news story http://www.kirotv.com/money/27620336/detail.html Also go to this website to see other victims stories http://www.zooztransportation.org PLEASE spread the links and the word around!! We need to shut this compnay down. They go by 25 different names that we have found and I am sure it is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want more info let me know! My dh is on his way home now but he is tired and his whole body aches. Pray he will get home safely.
Thankfully you got all your possessions back, it is too bad that you had to go to all the extra expense. Hopefully, the company will be out of business soon, and not by another name.
So glad you have your belongings. I pray they are all accounted for and you can close this dark chapter in your lives. (((hugs)))
I'm so happy for you!! I was reading on that blog site, man they are definately a piece of work for a company.
Dh got in at 7 this morning. He slept for a few hours and now he is up ready to unload....crazy to me since he is running on only 3 hours of sleep. But at least he is safe and we have our stuff!
I bet he is on a huge adrenaline rush yet. Don't let him push himself too much. He will feel this in his bones for a long while. So happy he made it safe and sound.
Thank you everyone! Dh is aching from head to toe and has a hard time sleeping since he got back. We are praying for him to feel better soon. His boss has asked him to work overtime this week to make up for the 4 days he was gone last week. I just hope he can handle the overtime with how weak and all the pain he has. I have been going through everything and it looks like it is all here and there is minimal damage to stuff in boxes. Most of the damage is serious gashes and scrapes in the furniture. I can deal with that though. Furniture can be replaced in the long run.
