c300 went in for passenger mirror replacement got car home opened glove box and gps was gone. Second time something was stolen while at dealer.I guess everything in vehicle must be removed before bringing in for service

Sorry to hear you got ripped off...at least they are not crazy espensive like they used to be. Not to mention, if it was a year old or more, you can get a better one, cheaper and with updated maps...trying to look on the bright side...lol.
I guess I have been lucky enough never to have had anything taken but I always remove any high dollar item...if they want to take my CDs, note pads,GPS mount, etc I guess they can have it. I keep my sunglasses and GPS with me and hope for the best.

I hate to hear stories like this, but if it were me I would be calling my service advisor instead of posting about it on here. If this is truly the 2nd time something has been stolen, then the dealer really needs to look at their service/detail department. You should not have to take anything out of your car when you bring it for service.

Call your service advisor then call the cops.

Every Dealership I have ever been in is filled with thieves.lol Sorry to hear that though, call the servise manager asap

I would do as recommended above. If you leave it alone, not only will your money spent on the GPS go to waste, but the thieves will continue to steal the belongings of other future customers. And that's a big no no.

While I do agree with you guys about reporting the theft, there is almost always a clause on your paperwork stating the dealer is not responsible for "lost" items.
Report it to help identify who is commiting the crime but I doubt you will get anything back.

Of course it's filled with them...especially those pesky sales people/managers...always trying to steal all of your hard earned money

First -- you left something valuable in your car?

Second -- I don't know about your dealership, but I've seen mine leave the cars unlocked outside... anyone can walk up to it and take something - doesn't even have to be someone working there.

The only thing you can do is take everything out. My dealership has a bad that a woman comes and gives to you for you to put your stuff in. I take everything out. Even my quarters that I use for the meter. Better to take everything out that accuse people of taking stuff that you can't prove.

Same thing happened awhile back. Dealer claimed nothing was left in glove compartment other than owner's manual.

Definitly report it. I always leave my I-pod in the glove box but also always lock it.

Wow, that's crazy, file a police report and let your SA know. They know exactly who goes in your car.

I dropped my car off for service once and left a bunch of assorted coins in the cup holder. When I got back someone sat in my car and literally picked EVERY SINGLE quarter out of the cup holder... They didn't even take pennies, nickels and dimes, and I know for a fact that I had a bunch of quarters in there. I reported it, not because of the monetary value, but just because of the fact of the matter. They narrowed it down to two individuals, one of which suspected for doing other things people complained about that day. Needless to say he was fired and I was given a free wax and detail to remove swirls.

Hopefully they will do the same for your and replace your stuff, if not file a police report... I have since not gone back to the same dealership anyway, and use a new one, never had any issues to date, and even tried to "set them up" a few times... haha.

Already spoke with service advisor he said one detailer is out needs to speak to him told him dealership needs to look at the detailing crew asked if there was cameras where they detail of course not when i get the response that i know i will not like ill inform police

And what do you do for a living...live off of a money tree in your backyard?

Seems to me that everyone is trying to "steal" money from someone (if I follow your reasoning) and you are just as guilty (assuming you have a job and didn't just happen to walk up on a pile of cash) as those you are referring to.

Bravo - finally someone with a rational and logical opinion. With you 100%

And how long ago was this? If you didn't call them immediately when you missed your property, you are going to have a hard time convincing them that it went missing when they had the car.

And don't be so naive. Empty the car out when it goes into the shop. Unless it's a fix-while-you-wait job.

*******s at Beshoff sold my Ipod that was locked in the glove compartment! I made those MF'ers pay for a new one! They tried to give the run around "like you are not to leave anything of value in the car".All I had to say was "so I can't trust my Mercedes Benz dealership"? A week later a Had a check in my hand for a new Ipod! end of story!!
