Last week Mr C took our pick-up for its routine service at Autocamiones, Av. Kennedy in Santo Domingo - the authorised service centre for Isuzu. When he collected the vehicle he drove straight to Punta Cana. Since arriving in Punta Cana the vehicle has not been parked in any unsupervised area.
By coincidence, on Saturday he was looking for something and noticed the spare tyre was missing. The company denies all responsibility although the spare tyre was definitely there when he left the vehicle, as evidenced by the checklist.
I wonder how many people have gone on for weeks and months without noticing - and therefore would not associate the loss with the vehicle being serviced.
Now he recalls that on a previous occasion a fellow customer was complaining about having something stolen from his vehicle.
So if you take your vehicle there, please double-check everything down to the last screw.
