hattrick, I will remind you about what you said about cleaning cars not being a difficult task, people get their children to clean cars. SO why wouldn't an adult, even if they don't have a degree, be able to clean a car and remember to check in every nook and crany.

Can any company you mentioned afford to have a customer's child shot in the head because they couldn't come up with a way to ensure that a loaded gun is not found in their rental car???

Sometimes I think because Enterprise employees are all college and university grads, they think everyone without a degree has the IQ of a monkey. Don't treat the car preps as if mediocracy is acceptable from people because they are doing a job that doesn't require post secondary education and the pay is appropriate for the level of difficulty.

You don't think the average car prep would care if a loaded gun was found under the seat of a car he/she had supposedly cleaned and as a result someone could have DIED? You really do underestimate the people you hire to perform the job. I guess they'll just live up to your very low expectations.

This has happened at other rental car companies and they have been sued?? AWESOME, finally some advice the original poster can USE!!

To the concerned parent who started this thead "Parents Beware" if they continue to ignore the problem and do nothing to give you peace of mind that this will never happen again, SUE THEM!!

Hey, hattrick, where did you hear about those lawsuits?? Care to divulge where you got this information in your internet research?

To err is human. mistakes do happen, when they do, acknowledge it, identify WHY it happened, think of ways to prevent it from ever happening again and learn from it, or else expect it to repeat itself...and don't expect the same LUCK that nothing will happen next time....

If only we COULD change human behaviour...guns wouldn't even exist.
