I wasn't hurt. But my property was. NC

[Ross_J]

I work at a Honda dealership in the service department as a Technician.

I went into work yesterday on my day off to retrieve some tools that I needed at home only to find my red $12,000 toolbox COVERED in white spots from the (floor) cleaning crew over the weekend. This residue doesn't wipe off. It takes special chemicals and a lot of cleaning.

I went straight to my manager and told her. She said "you knew the cleaning crew was coming"

Even if I did know it was just told in passing and she definately gave no date. I absolutely had no idea they were using a power washer!

I want to know if they are responsible for the cleaning of my toolbox, since they hired the crew and didn't post a notice of them coming. I have pictures on my camera phone but they aren't very good. I'm taking my better ones in today so I can get some good quality pictures for my records.

I'm not interested in going to court with this, I want to know who is responsible.

Do you mean the toolbox cost 12,000 bucks or the toolbox and the TOOLS INSIDE IT cost 12k?

Are the TOOLS damaged?

Was the floor cleaned by employees of YOUR DEALER or AN OUTSIDE COMPANY?

Your damages are the cost of time and material to undo you damages.

The toolbox itself was $12,000 new (a little over a year old) total with contents is over $30,000

Are the TOOLS damaged?

I didn't have time to check everything but some of the tools that have motors may have problems because the floor had a lot of sand and grit on it and it may have gotten into those.

They hire an outside company

Your damages are the cost of time and material to undo you damages.

Hope that helps.

You need to sue the company that did the floor.
