G'day all ,
Just thought Iwould share this. On Friday night at 6.30 I went fishing and for the first time in ages I parked at the sugar terminal ramp , locked up the car and off we went to Kings point nice night , lots of stingers wrapped around everything though hard to fish , so about 10.30 decide to call it a night, only got a few non keepers , got things to do on Saturday. Cruzed home enjoying the ride , stereo blaring and the scenery coming back into Cairns at night. gets back to the ramp and get to the triton and find some low life has smashed the rear passenger door window in and there is glass every where in side , glove box is strewn all over the passenger seat and floor , but nothing is missing , ash tray is for parking money { haven't had a cigg in two years} , and when I bought ice they had no notes and he gave me $35 bucks in gold which I promptly threw in the ash tray as it would have crippled the wallet, not a cent missing from the ash tray , mp3 player on seat , house keys , jumper leads and tool box all still there , I theorised they were disturbed and bolted, saving all the stuff in my car. was still pissed as it is raining and car has no window .
So I ring the Police and the person talking the report just about told me not to wast my time so I didn't, if that is their attitude no wonder no gets their stolen gear back.
So I ring CUA to get on to the Insurance, get a automated response machine , I is thinking great here we go , but to my surprise a very pleasent lady answered the phone promptly, and with in 3-4 minutes she had , had a three way conference with O'briens and orginized for a window from sydney, to shipped up and fitted on thursday afternoon at my place . and no loss on my no claim or excess. now you could have knocked me down with a feather it was so quick and painless . Thank you CUA .
And if I caught the dog tur- that smashed me window I would have made him eat the glass .
So theres my story part bad but has a good side to it , I reckon I will ring the council on monday and put in a complaint about the lack of lighting at that ramp and the police to see if their attitude has changed.
