So a guy that works next door to us came in tonight with his car to be repaired, first though i'll tell you how it all happened.
They work in manufacturing, the customer in question is mid way management on the workshop floor. He and another employee have been giving an apprentice a hard time of late for being lazy or useless at his job, the usual workshop banter/bullying. Today the apprentice had enough, he walked out just before lunch and wasn't seen again.
5pm stopping time came for my customer, he comes out of work and starts his car, puts his foot on the brake pedel and it sinks right to the floor. Strange he thinks, gets out and walks round looking under the car, he sees a large pool of brake fluid at the front left side of the car on the ground.
It turns out that his left hand front brake hose and abs sensor wire have been cut!!!
Now he and others suspect this apprentice has done it, but it will be very hard to prove as there are no security cameras in the carpark.
He is pretty annoyed about it, but just glad he noticed before he drove off.
He said himself though..."it's scary what people will do, and i'm angry at whoever did it as it could have lead to a serious accident or worse. But I feel I am partly to blame as I was overly hard on the guy"
My customer has decided not to go to the police about the matter, but has reported the incident to his manager and the company owner.
So, next time you wind up the new guy, or are a complete ass to someone for no reason, just remember not everyone has the same morals or limits as you. I believe what goes around comes around, although this is a little extreme, it's still a sobering lesson to learn in life on the whole.
