Beware...The Car Cleaners

I'm bored so i figured i'd tell all my max brothers a story. Two years ago my parents decided to buy my sister a 93' Nissan Maxima as a going away present to collage. This was before she gave it to me. Now, before my folks bought this car I inspected every inch of that baby; tested the controls, buttons, switches, and windows.
After the purchase my parents figured the car needed a good scrub and rinse (inside and out). They took it to a place down the road. Some car cleaner place.We got it back the next day, handed it over to my sister, and she was of to U of I.
The next day she called us and told us the two rear windows don't work. I didn't think to much of it (ain't my car, aint my problem).
Fifteen months later she decides to give it to me. I decide to fix the window "problem". Grabbed a chunk of the interior door and yanked it off. Turns out the window wasn't broken. THE MOTOR WAS MISSING! The window was being held up by its wire tied to a screw in the door.
I figured those car cleaning SOB's took off the door and took out the two rear window motors.F*ck*rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs

Damn

Certain things in this car buisness is expected. When you drop off your Corvette, Viper, 93 Maxima etc. at the valet parking you can pretty much expect the valet to take a spin around the block. Another one is when people pull out the light bulbs for the check engine, abs, etc. and sell the car to an unsuspected buyer. But this one has to be the ultimate, you have to have BIG ones to take apart a customer car and remove something you need.

Hey, why do you think they're called "car cleaners"?

You ought to be thankful they didn't clean your car out of more expensive parts, like the transmission!
