OK I trust you guys to be the objective judges and I want you to be objective here I'll try to present this as best I can without prejudice... I'm alotted about 10 parking spots + or - as you can see from the picture the boats (on trailers) are neatly lined up and organized anybody thats been to JBP knows were are neat clean and organized , I've been here for 14 years same operation same Landlord (nice guy ,a little ecentric) soooooo, a few weeks ago he calls me aside to tell me he's "a little pissed" he's got a fairley significant DENT in the rear roll pan below his rear bumper on his "Burb" I says "geeee doc bummer what happened " (Docs angry ,he says "I backed into one of your trailer hitch heads the other nite" (or words to that effect) I say hmmmm did you damage my trailer?? (didn't laugh) Heres the point , if the trailer in question was out in the middle of the lot in the dark ,one thing , but.... it was in a dedicated parking spot where I've parked boats (with trailers for freekin 14 years ) My opinion ,shame on you ,you run/back into my trailer and f*ck your vehicle up "your bad" , if I'm neligent and leave something out you couldn't anticipate or suspect "my bad" Well whats the vote come'on I can take it ! ?? Tom

The only way I read it is it's the Landloard's fault.. Is a big boat on a trailer in a designated parking spot somehow less noticeable than a car?  To me it's the same as if he would have hit a parked car like GT mentioned..

his fault entirely. he's probably just a little steamed. it will take a few days for him to calm dow and look a it from an alternative perspective, and realize it was his fault. i deal with these people all the time at traffic collisions. they get realy quick to point the finger at someoe else util they realize the truth. some people will say they were out of line and apologize, some are too stubborn to drop there ego and will just avoid it. dont stress tom.

oh btw, i would arrive to work with a ginormous smile on my face every day if thats where i parked for work. ur a lucky guy! 

The guys a little off, fix his shit kiss his ass and go on..................or get ready to move. It may not be this incident but once they have a hard on, yer done. You got dirt, build one.

Tell him to pay for half of your security system repair costs and you will fix his truck

Tom,

I would look over your lease and see what it says about your parking allotment.  i hate people that do not want to take responsibility for thier actions...........  I wouldnt offer to pay for any of it UNLESS he becomes demanding and flat asks you to.  Offering to pay admits liability!

Thanks everyone , Like "Kellys Court on Fox"  This is my approach , I rent 4 buildings (everyone else has one maybe two) and not only have been there almost 15 years but I pay my rent on time , watch over the place (surveilance) and We do our best to follow all their rules , in this economy tenants are "dropping like trousers in a brothal" , I told him I'll scout for a used roll pan and at my convenience install it , I got him to pay for the "fried" cams, and re-install them (his worker,not mine) I also put up red cones at the hitch heads and strung "crime scene tape around everthing . The way I see it he backed carlessly into something of mine that was parked in the alotted and agreed upon spots PLUS this was nothing new they've been there forever , a few years ago I "knarfed" the side of my truck on a pallet full of lumber in a lumber yard , I was pissed but it was my fault , Rhonda backed my truck into a boat a few months back at the house ,her fault !. When a person backs over a bike or ?? in a driveway or "kisses a parking pole or scarfs thier front roll pan on a cement bumper at Circle K Its Thier fault ! Its the drivers responsibily  to know whats behind ,in front or side to side etc, its different if a muffler falls off your truck on the LA freeway and I can't miss it  and IMO he needs to be more careful   Tom

I say screw him pack up the shop and move it to Bullhead , then i know i can get a running boat

hmmmmmmmm.    tom would have to put in alot of overtime

I'd say he has balls,my moving vehicle just hit your parked chit whatta ya goin to do about it. Tell him after giving it much tought you've decided to work with him, and hand him a quart of bondo and a single sheet of 80 grit.

Nice 

Tell him the owner of the boat is a lawyer and wants his info....

Now thats how you do it

Nice sig line Steve. Do you have to hang one of those red flags off the back of that pump when you tow it?

haha it needs its own trailer!

sweet pics

Put me down for one of those streamers Tom. I had one a blue Angel pilot gave me  and it blew off the boat....forgot to remove before flight

 HD ,Ya I know I always thought they were very cool , I'll see if "NoShow" (my T shirt dude) has the "silk screen" still I'll get some more made up  always been afraid some turd will "ass end " my boat and crunch my jet or worse ! Hey WTF jacked my own thread   Tom

TG ,words of wisdom and food for thought , the reason the boats are parked the way they are is so'as the Vid surveilance can keep and eye out , Docs cool now till next time (I hope ) you almost got to be a "fly on the wall"  to observe the way the LL's mind works , fortunately too (for us I have a new second shop ,three acres in the country and a "fall back plan"  ! Always watch your "6" always have a plan and  "semper vigilantis" !!  Tom

Funny story !! , horses are worse than bored dogs , mine used to "crib" (eat for you city folks) the corral fences clean thru even creosote an bitter apple didnt work I use to get so mad I shot them in the ass with a BB gun , (shouldn't admit that) Tom
