Saturday, March 27th Update
We still have the white 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis with 72,000 miles on it for sale for $7,000 O.B.O.
We also still have the 2008 Chevy Silverado pickup truck which is being offered by the Apprenticeship Committee for $16,000. It is in like new condition with 22,000 miles on it.
I still believe we need to explore the idea of installing security cameras on our property in light of the fact that someone had cut a hole in the gas tank of the green Grand Marquis we had for sale as it was being kept in our parking lot with a locked gate after hours. Whether it was done after hours by defeating the locked gate or a weak spot in the fence or during our regular office hours, a security camera would have helped us identify how and when it happened. I hope the damage done to the green car was done as a crime of convenience by some street punk and not a crime of sabotage by some disgruntled member of our local. Whatever the case, security cameras placed in key areas of our property would help identify people who wish to do us harm in one way or another. It might even serve as a deterrent to anyone who has designs on doing us harm in the future.
I was able to fix the gas tank that was damaged by replacing it with a used tank from a junk yard for a total cost of $260 and my own labor to remove the old tank and replace it with a tank without a hole in it. I bought the car as is and hold the local harmless in respect to the vandalism done on our local's property but by the same token, the damage should never have occurred and a video security system may have served as a deterrent to prevent it from happening.
If anyone is in agreement with me, please send me an e mail and I will bring it up at the next meeting.
