    So what was the situation exactly? Was it getting work done? Sounds to me like someone working there did it. I mean the likelihood of someone not involved with the dealership stealing it is pretty small.

    However, since the car was in their posession it is their it is THEIR responsibility to keep the car secure. So if the car was broken into at the dealership then they failed to keep the car secure and they should be on the hook for it. Talk to the GM or owner direct and if that doesn't work keep working your way up the ladder until you hit corporate consumer affairs.

    Good luck man
    I won't say, I still like the dealership and would never bad mouth them.

    The thing is I never signed anything. In most cases you would, but I know the service manager so he didnt make me sign shit.

    I agree, I dont want to get into it with my service manager(a good one is hard to come by when you drive a vw), so I think I will be taking this up with the general manager.

    Oh no doubt. When I had the tC I went through three dealers before I finally found one that was worth a damn .

    Do what you think is best but like I said if you can't find a solution through the dealer than you need to take it to corporate. Trust me they get shit done.

    Not if you know the right people at the right dealership.

    Its not the dealerships fault its some low level employees, those exist at all shops, not just dealerships.

    Like I said above, low level employees are to blame.

    Once I find a good service manager I will follow them wherever they go, even if my shit gets jacked. It won't happen again so who cares.
