I think this happened in the parking lot, not in the actual yard. So I don't know that the junkyard could really do anything for him, unfortunately.precopster wrote: ↑19 Jun 2019, 20:39 Junkyard shouldn't allow cars inside yard. They are just inviting the "getaway car" scenario. Also don't they have a camera system employed at the entrance? They should be liable for your loss Robert. Our local junkyards have security gates and checks as we leave and we're only allowed inside on foot.
Did you approach the junkyard manager? Perhaps they have footage?!!
Can't see Robert's Paypal address on his website!! Anyone can email it to me?

I have a whole bunch of 1998 S70 Volvo parts that I will ship to Robert for free.
He needs it more than I do.
Plus I will send him some $ on Paypal.
According to Robert's website, his Paypal address is deleted .

Same happened to me at the Sun Valley PP. I had walked away from my wheelbarrow to drain a fluid and some Mofo took my toys and shades and keys. I thought there was honor among our type. -Smoggy
Life is like a box of chocol- make that an engine compartment. You never know where the tubes go or how to rout a belt 'less you read the diagram on the underside of the hood. Do it right the 2nd time. So when all else fails, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
