Yes, it's a difficult situation - if it was a one off I think it would be very different. However it's another case added to a growing list

You have got to feel for those that have lost money, makes you wonder about giving anyone SOR. Also while in the situation that guy found himself with the open day, perhaps taking the law into your own hands would be very tempting.

Sounds like it was well deserved for Gmund but sad for the customers who have lost out.

I was always of the opinion that IF you use a SOR service,use long term storage or in any way entrust a valuable car to others,ALWAYS have a spare key.Makes life far easier if things dont pan out as expected.

There’s a good chance it doesn’t actually belong to Gmund!

The Mearns are going to struggle to come out of this unscathed and rightly so

One of the TIPEC local guy's was saying that there is at least 1 up to 3 that have lost their cars in this. Lets hope they can get something from the administrators
